Paragraph text
In order to create a standardized and widely recognized open licensing framework, the non-profit organization Creative Commons developed a series of standardized copyright licenses. Creative Commons encourages copyright owners to license the use of their material through open content licences. These will allow for better identification, negotiation and use of their content for the purposes of creativity, education and innovation. By minimizing copyright licensing efforts and complexity, authors can ensure their work is rapidly and easily used.
