- Creative Commons 2014 (†434 s.v. "Licenses"): Every license helps creators . . . retain copyright while allowing others to copy, distribute, and make some uses of their work – at least non-commercially.

Every Creative Commons license works around the world and lasts as long as applicable copyright lasts (because they are built on copyright). (†1887)
