I'm writing some online training material, and want to include some images that have Creative Commons licenses, so need to figure out how to correctly cite the license information.
A nice article by Creative Commons expert Cory Doctorow points out that there is a very particular way that you need to cite the license information correctly.
As Cory Doctorow says, all CC licenses (save for the Public Domain dedication) require that users:
- Name the creator (either as identified on the work, or as noted in instructions to downstream users)
- Provide a URL for the work (either as identified on the work, or as noted in instructions to downstream users)
- Name the license
- Provide a URL for the license
- Note whether the work has been modified
The Creative Commons Wiki page gives recommended practices for attribution, including many examples.
