Sharing with Creative Commons can mean more than simply using a copyright license.

So far, we have talked primarily about the mechanics of CC licensing. This unit will give you a more holistic look at sharing with CC. You’ll learn about some of the shared values and common practices of those who use CC, the benefits that sharing can bring to the sharer, and get a closer look at some examples of organizations using Creative Commons in what they do.

This unit has three sections:

5.1 Values and Practices
5.2 The Benefits
5.3 Case Studies

There are also additional resources if you are interested in learning more about any of the topics covered in this unit.
