A license describes and limits how intellectual property may be used or reused. The best description of licenses is available directly within the form for creating resources or groups on Curriki. You can also find more information on the Creative Commons website.

Curriki uses the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license as its default license when a member creates a resource because it provides the most flexibility to the community and allows members to use and modify others’ contributions.

The License Deed that is chosen belongs to the person defined as the Rights Holder. By default Curriki enters the contributing member into the Rights Holder field during resource creation, but if you are uploading the content to Curriki on behalf of another person (for which you must have explicit permission) you should enter that person’s name instead.

Please note that Curriki does not restrict Access Privileges based on the License Deed. Enforcing a license against infringement is entirely up to the Rights Holder.

To cite a resource from Curriki, be sure to credit the Rights Holder, the contributor, and all editors of the content. You should also reference where you got it from on Curriki (i.e., where the current version can be found).

You can find the Rights Holder and License Deed settings on the Information tab for any resource.
