Decoding Creative Commons License Icons

When looking at Open Resource media, I have often found decoding the Creative Common License icons and codes confusing. Sharing freely and collaborating is built on trust, so I want to use or reuse these items with integrity and respect to the original creator.

I created this infographic as a handy tool to break down what each icon or code means. Whether you are deciding what kind of license you need for your own creation or just trying to figure out the parameters of use for someone else's work, I hope this simple, visual explanation will give you confidence in your choices. Feel free to download it below for future reference.
