Creative Commons
Many corporations would be understandably nervous about applying a GFDL license to the
content on their site. In most cases, the material is marketing-heavy and represents considerable
effort to separate the brand from the competition. However, the company may
apply one of the variations of the Creative Commons license,9 which lays out more explicit
usage parameters for content. For websites, an author can choose one of six licenses:
1. Attribution alone
2. Attribution plus Noncommercial
3. Attribution plus No Derivative Works
4. Attribution plus Share Alike
5. Attribution plus Noncommercial plus No Derivative Works
6. Attribution plus Noncommercial plus Share Alike
Most corporations would be interested in either license involving no derivatives. This
means that anyone can redistribute the content as long as the author is properly cited (the
attribution) and the work is not altered in any way (no derivatives). The noncommercial
tag simply restricts this license to noncommercial use only.
