## Licenses
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
Creative commons [licenses](license.md)/waivers form a **[spectrum](spectrum.md)** spanning from complete freedom (CC0, [public domain](public_domain.md), no conditions on use) to complete [fascism](fascism.md) (prohibiting basically everything except for non-commercial sharing). This means that **NOT all Creative Commons licenses are [free cultural](free_culture.md) licenses** -- this is acknowledged by Creative Commons and part of the design. Keep in mind that as a good human you mustn't ever use licenses with [NC](nc.md) (non-commercial use only) or [ND](nd.md) (no derivatives allowed) clauses, these make your work non-free and therefore unusable.
