A guide to adding the CC BY license notice

Adding the CC BY license notice to your

materials

A Guide for TAACCCT

Fulfilling the requirement is

simple

“This license allows subsequent users to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt the copyrighted Work and requires such users to attribute the Work in the manner specified by the grantee. Notice of the license shall be affixed to the Work. For general information on CC BY, please visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0.”

Licensing your work is easy. No registration is required.

You simply add a notice that your work is under CC BY. Here’s how you do that

creativecommons.org/choose

Go to:

http://creativecommons.org/choose

CC BY 3.0 or 4.0 are okay

DOL says:

We recommend 4.0. It’s the most up-to-date version of the same CC BY license.

But if you really want 3.0, there’s a link to it on the page

<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/88x31.png" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License</a>.v

Q:

Tweak CC BY license notice to read that there are exceptions.

Attribute authors of OER you are using according to CC best practices.

A:
