Q & A

What are some benefits of using openly licensed materials?

Openly licensed materials are generally less restrictive than standard copyright, less confusing since permissions are explicitly defined, and allow for easier access to high quality, modifiable resources.

What is the difference between open licenses and fair use?

Open licenses grant clear permissions for reusing and redistributing materials, while fair use relies on a subjective claim that may be disputed by copyright holders.

What types of works are protected under copyright?

US copyright law grants protections over expressive works of original authorship such as books, songs, photos, and movie scripts.

What permissions does standard copyright provide to creators?

Standard copyright grants creators exclusive rights over publishing, copying, distributing, and creating derivative works.

What are some examples of open licenses?

Creative Commons and custom website licenses are common open licenses. They allow reusing materials with certain restrictions.

What is the difference between open access and public domain?

Why might government research be a good source of public domain content?

The US government conducts extensive research and releases findings to the public domain by default.

How can you determine if a Creative Commons licensed work can be used commercially?
