Hello,
I would like some assistance citing Creative Commons work. I found the
following information on the website but it would be useful to see a
couple of examples of how to cite a CC license in relationship to the
work. Also, if anyone has examples of such citations in an APA or MLA
format I would like to see them.
If you could respond to me directly, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.
Below information is from the CC website:
How do I properly attribute a Creative Commons licensed work?
If you are using a work licensed under one of our core licenses
(Attribution, Attribution-ShareAlike,
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike, Attribution-NonCommerical,
Attribution-NoDerivatives, Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives (this
is the same as the Music Sharing license)) or under our Developing
Nations license, then the proper way of accrediting your use of a work
when you're making a verbatim use is: (1) to keep intact any copyright
notices for the Work; (2) credit the author, licensor and/or other
parties (such as a wiki or journal) in the manner they specify; (3) the
title of the Work; and (4) the Uniform Resource Identifier for the work
if specified by the author and/or licensor.
You also need to provide the Uniform Resource Locator for the Creative
Commons license that applies to the work, together with each copy of the
work that you make available.
If you are making a derivative use of a work licensed under one of our
core licenses or under the Developing Nations license, in addition to
the above, you need to identify that your work is a derivative work, ie.
"This is a Finnish translation of the [original work] by [author]" or
"Screenplay based on [original work] by [author]."
If you are sampling a work licensed under one of our Sampling licenses
you should credit derivative works you create using those samples by
saying something along the lines of: "Remix of the [original work] by
[author]" or "Inclusion of a portion of the [original work] by [author]
in collage."
