More on the Creative Commons license

Here's a video explaining the purpose and procedures of the Creative Commons license.  It isn't required for this project--and may not be feasible--but it's something worth knowing about.

Note that to use a CC license you need to be using some combination of others' CC material, your own material, or brief elements of copyrighted works allowed under the fair use principle.  You can't use major chunks of copyrighted works and distribute your work under the CC license, however, because you'll be giving people permission to use every aspect of your work.  And you can't legally give them permission to use copyrighted works you've borrowed--even though you're allowed to use it under the TEACH Act of 2002.
