Attributing Creative Commons Materials
The same basic principles apply to providing attribution across all CC licences. When attributing a work under a CC licence you should:
- Credit the creator;
- Provide the title of the work;
- Provide the URL where the work is hosted;
- Indicate the type of licence it is available under and provide a link to the licence (so others can find out the licence terms); and
- Keep intact any copyright notice associated with the work.
Creative Commons Australia provides the following tips on attributing material licenced under Creative Commons and their website contains various examples of different mediums.
