Rights of the Licensee (User):

  1. Copy
    Users are free to copy, distribute, or transfer copies of the work in any format or medium.

  2. Distribute
    Users can distribute the work, either in its original form or in a modified version, to the public.

  3. Adapt
    Users can modify, transform, or create derivative works based on the original work, including for specific or different purposes.

  4. Use for Commercial and Non-Commercial Purposes
    The work can be used for both commercial purposes (e.g., in products or services for sale) and non-commercial purposes (e.g., in education or research).

Obligations of the Licensee (User):

  1. Provide Proper Attribution
    Users must provide appropriate credit to the original creator. This includes citing the creator’s name, the title of the work, and providing a link to the license (CC BY 4.0) in an accessible manner.

    • Attribution can be done in various formats, whether in text, images, or other forms, as long as it is reasonable in context.

    • If any changes are made to the work, the user must explain what modifications have been made.

  2. No Implied Endorsement
    Users must not imply that the original creator endorses their use or modification of the work, unless the original creator has given explicit consent.

  3. Respect Uses Not Covered by the License
    While CC BY grants wide permissions, this does not extend to uses that violate the law, such as copyright infringement or violations of privacy.

Rights of the Licensor (Original Creator):

  1. Revoke the License
    The creator can revoke the license at any time, but this will not affect uses of the work that were made prior to the revocation.

  2. Control Over Attribution
    The creator can specify how attribution should be given, though attribution generally must include the creator's name and a link to the license.

Key Points:

Under CC BY 4.0, the licensee has broad freedoms to use the work, but the main obligation is to provide proper attribution to the original creator and avoid suggesting any endorsement or association without permission.
