License - a clear way to define the type of copyright creative work has so other know how they can use it

Creators can choose what kind of copyright license they want. They can determine how strict or open to be about others using, sharing, altering, or making money from their work. Creative Commons is a copyright license that allows for flexibility in how others use the work (such as to copy, alter, or make money from it).

Have you ever given a license to your work?
