Creative Commons is a license created from Copyleft, which offers the possibility to use, copy or redistribute a work and its derivative versions simply recognizing its authorship, without requiring authorization. It is identified with the symbol CC inside a circle.
When we work with products under the Creative Commons license does not mean that we can use it without worrying about copyright infringement. Under this type of license we must meet a number of requirements that establish how to use the product we are using, whether it is an image, a video, a plugin, etc…
For this reason it is necessary to analyze under which type of Creative Commons license such product is submitted. There are currently up to 6 types of Creative Commons licenses. From the one that allows us to use the product freely, to the one that we must add some type of attribution to the author passing through a series of specifications that we will comment below.
