CC allows the free use/ transfer of resources to others without the costly and timely copyright permissions process. With 450 projects across the Programme lots of fantastic resources being generated, CC is the natural way to allow third parties to build upon the excellent body of work coming from these projects whilst also acknowledging the authorship of the creators.

The 'examination exception', in s.32(3) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 states that: “ Copyright is not infringed by anything done for the purposes of an examination by way of setting the questions, communicating the questions to the candidates or answering the questions, provided that the questions are accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement.” Firstly, it should be noted that this exception is not a fair dealing right - there is no requirement to show fairness in order to rely on it. Provided there is compliance with the section’s conditions, there will be no infringement of copyright.

The purpose of a Share Alike license is to ensure that all future adaptations and derivatives of a work carry the same permissions as the original. Share Alike. If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same, similar or a compatible license.
These Creative Commons Compatibility Wizards can be used to determine the range of Creative Commons licences which are compatible with each other when blending Creative Commons licensed resources to create new Open Educational Resources. Further information can be found at: www.web2rights.com/OERIPRSupport Use Wizard 1 if you want to take Creative Commons licensed resources, blend them in an OER, and make your OER available under a single Creative Commons licence. Wizard 1 will tell you which Creative Commons licences are compatible. Use Wizard 2 if you have already chosen which Creative Commons licence you want to use to license out your OER, and want to know which Creative Commons licensed resources you can blend in your OER, which would be compatible with your chosen end-use licence. It is not possible to relicense someone else’s Creative Commons licensed work. It is possible to disseminate someone else’s Creative Commons licensed work in its entirety, either by itself or as part of a collection, but the original licence will continue to apply to that work. It is possible to relicense an adaptation of a Creative Commons licensed work, provided the original licence is not ND restricted (in which case no adaptation can be made without further permission). Where the original work is SA restricted, the adaptation can only be made under the same CC licence as the original. It is possible to blend an SA licensed work with works with the same conditions (e.g. CC BY SA with CC BY SA) or lesser restrictions (CC BY NC with CC BY SA), as long as the final product of the re-mix is licensed under the same CC SA licence as the original. Two different CC SA licences (e.g. CC BY NC SA and CC BY SA) cannot be mixed. Where an intact Creative Commons licensed work is included with other works, two layers of copyright will exist – the original work will remain licensed under its original licence, but there will also be copyright in the selection and arrangement of the materials in the compilation – and this may be under any licence compatible with the content’s licences.
