As an educator I agree to :"When sharing, simple is best. Use CC-BY."
The CC-BY licence allows anyone to: copy,
distribute and transmit the work adapt the work,make commercial use of the work
.under the
condition that the user must attribute the work in the manner specified by the
author or licensor.
publishers use CC-BY to make their work available to a wider
audience .It can help others create their own work. CC-BY license, which allows unlimited use and
modification, including commercial uses, provided the source is
attributed. At a minimum the attribution
requires listing the names of the authors. So far, open access publishing has
been presented as both a public and a private good. Authors benefits from barrier-free
dissemination and reuse, and authors benefit from wider readership.
However ,many
authors are unaware that the CC-BY licenses of their open-access papers allow
commercial publishers to alter and republish their papers without consulting
them.
For a
creator, once he license his work he would not be able to cancel the
Creative Commons licenses he applied to
all of his old work. For example, perhaps a photography hobby has now turned
into a profession. He would not be able to cancel the Creative Commons licenses
he applied to all of his old work.
Often photograph
can be misused by others and having your name attached to it.
So before
applying any creative commons to your work you should before decide whether
they are willing to share their work permanently under those terms.
