CC License Chooser<\/h1>\nThe CC license chooser can make short work of marking your work with a CC license. To begin, go to https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/choose\/<\/a>.\n\nYou will be prompted to select conditions for sharing your work, as mentioned earlier in this chapter.\n\n\n\nOnce you have chosen the conditions you wish to share under, the chooser will show you which license fits your terms:\n\n\n\nIf this is the license you wish to use, you are almost done. If not, revise the conditions from the earlier step to match the license you wish to share under.\n\nThen, you will have the option of adding descriptive metadata to the license.\n\n\n\nLast, you will have the option of having the chooser give you a CC license mark in a format that fits your content well.\n\n\n\nAt this point, you can copy and paste the license badge and text, or grab the HTML code for use on the Web.\n
Webpages<\/h1>\nWebpages are often marked with a CC license in the footer or sidebar of the website. The example below is from the Pressbook (website) containing this lesson:\n\n\n
Video<\/h1>\nIt is simple to use a CC license bumper frame at the beginning or end of a video, or wherever the credits appear. CC license bumpers appear like so:\n\n\n
Offline Materials<\/h1>\nMaterials intended for print or other non-digital use can be marked with a CC license as well. This is often displayed in the footer of a document, or wherever the copyright statement usually exists. Offline CC license marking does not carry links back to the original work or the license, but it does make it clear how the content is being shared.\n

Introduction<\/h1>\n
A Creative Commons (CC) license can be placed on a wide range of content, indicating to potential reusers what they are allowed to do with your work. Many content sharing platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, and more have tools for marking content as you upload them. In other cases, you may wish to individually mark content that will be shared in places other than a public platform. This lesson will cover the basics of marking your content with a CC license.<\/p>\n
What’s in a license?<\/h1>\n
When we “get” a CC license, all we are doing is placing a license icon or statement on our work, and linking back to the legal documents for the license we chose. For example, a CC BY 4.0 license is seen below:<\/p>\n
