You can use CC-licensed materials as long as you follow the license conditions. One condition of all CC licenses is attribution: crediting the author and noting the source and the license. Generally speaking, attribution must reasonably include all relevant information supplied by the licensor. Because each use case is different, you can decide what form of attribution is most suitable for your specific situation. The following examples are intended to illustrate what typical prudent practices look like. We expect community norms and expectations to evolve with time, and will adapt this guide accordingly. In addition to attribution, there are also things to consider as a licensor or a licensee. If you are a licensor and would like to learn how to license your own material, take a look at our guide on how to mark your work with a CC license.
