For any US readers out there, this is a pretty good post explaining some of the details of the Creative Commons license.
If you’re not familiar with the Creative Commons Program, it’s a way for people to copyright their work and specify how it can be used. The program focuses on digital creations, but can be applied to other things as well.
While there is also a Canadian Creative Commons program, there is no major explanatory post about it. Some of the guiding principles are the same but the differences between American and Canadian copyright law is such that you may want to get specific advice.
From the “About” section:
We provide free licenses and other legal tools to mark creative work with the freedom the creator wants it to carry, so others can share, remix, use commercially, or any combination thereof.
