My good friend C-Quel was having trouble with understanding licensing and I figured, well there is nothing like a self perspective on Creative Commons.

So this piece is my selfish guide to Creative Commons, aka What has creative commons ever done for me. Specially designed to tell creators what they can restrict.

Does Creative Commons always has to be Non-Commercial?

No, in fact non-commercial terms are considered non-free culture. So works with non-commercial terms can never be used in open source or wikipedia etc.

PD isn't the same as CC-0 because of the technicality of copyright retention. When you make a Public Domain declaration you aren't licensing the work, your giving up all rights on it. When you use CC-0 it simply licenses all rights to the recipient (no restrictions).

Which is sort of the same thing in practice, but legally different. Because in one case you actually get to say you hold a copyright and in the other you can't.

And dA should enable this, I've asked them before and got no response. Some of my works needed a separate comment explaining they were PD.

*cough* It's "non-commercial", as in "not commercial", not "none commercial".

dA can't let you select public domain, can it? =p
I usually pick 'Share alike', in the spirit of GPL. ^^

No it can't, which I did complain about because 3 of my works are public domain (because they also went into the openclipart.org library and they must be PD for that resource)

So I made a note of it on each of them. I wouldn't mind but they don't even allow you to suggest commercial licenses available or any of those flexible things.

If it's not available, I usually just put it in author's comments, and leave dA's policy settings untouched. :)

It's just a fancy feature to me - when it comes down to it, all that matters is my decision, however I decide to inform people of it. ^^
Of course, I did use to release art as GPL, which is not always equally convenient. =p
