The above icon specifies that you can use the specified content for free in non-commercial applications, provided that you attribute (link back) as specified. The details of this attribution are usually displayed along with the image on the source web site often in a series of icons or a link to a licence page: as an example: Over the past 15 years millions of images and other creative media have been shared under the CC attribution licenses, all may be used in non-commercial applications unedited, and many can be used in commercial application and modified at will.įor the image user creative commons makes it clear if the images can be used in commercial applications, if changes can be made and in ALL cases an attribution as specified by the creator must be included when the image is used. The good people at explain this better, but CC allows photographers and illustrators or creators of any content to clearly license their work, and tag it in such a way that it can be found online easily. Creative Commons came about as a way to simplify the minefield that is 'free' content (view our listing of free stock photo sites) and allow photographers to provide ('license') their work for free under easy to understand and standardised terms which benefit both the photographer and the user. Creative Commons images are a special subset of 'free images'.
