The following list sets out some basic things that you should think about before you apply a Creative Commons license to your material, or use Creative Commons-licensed material. It is not an exhaustive list. If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to post to one of our email discussion lists, send us an email at info@creativecommons.org, send an email to one of our country project leads or obtain your own legal advice. 以下清单列出了在将创作作品应用创用CC协议或使用带有创用CC协议的作品之前，您应该考虑的一些基本事项，但并非详尽无遗。如果您有其他问题或疑虑，请随时在我们的电子邮件讨论列表中发帖，发送电子邮件至info@creativecommons.org，向我们的国家项目负责人发送电子邮件，或寻求您自己的法律咨询。

Considerations for Licensors – if you are licensing your own work 授权者的考虑事项-如果您正在授权自己的作品

Considerations for Licensees – if you are using someone else’s work 被授权者的考虑事项-如果您正在使用他人的作品

Considerations for licensors 授权者的考虑事项

Irrevocability 不可挽回的事

Remember the license may not be revoked. 请记住，该许可证可能不可撤销。

Once you apply a CC license to your material, anyone who receives it may rely on that license for as long as the material is protected by copyright and similar rights, even if you later stop distributing it. 一旦您将创用CC许可证应用于您的作品，无论以后您是否停止散布该作品，任何接收到该作品的人都可以在该作品受版权和类似权利保护期内依赖该许可证。

Type of material 材料类型

Make sure the material is appropriate for CC licensing. 请确保材料适合进行CC版权许可。

CC licenses are appropriate for all types of content you want to share publicly, except software and hardware. CC许可证适用于您希望公开共享的所有类型的内容，除了软件和硬件。

Specify precisely what it is you are licensing. 明确指定您要许可的内容。

Any given work has multiple elements; e.g., text, images, music. Make sure to clearly mark or indicate in a notice which of those are covered by the license.

一项作品通常包含多个元素，例如文本、图片、音乐等。请确保在通知中清楚标记或指明哪些元素受许可证保护。

Nature and adequacy of rights 权利的性质和充分性。

Make sure the material is subject to copyright or similar rights. 请确保该材料受版权或类似权利保护。

CC licenses are operative only where copyright, sui generis database rights, or other rights closely related to copyright come into play. They should not be applied to material in the public domain. CC许可证仅在涉及版权、独创性数据库权或与版权密切相关的其他权利时生效。不应将其应用于公共领域的材料。

Clear rights needed to use the material. 需要明确的使用该材料的权利。

If the material includes rights held by others, make sure to get permission to sublicense those rights under the CC license. If you created the material in the scope of your employment or as a work-for-hire, you may not be the holder of the rights and may need to get permission before applying a CC license. 如果该材料涉及他人拥有的权利，请确保获得在CC许可证下转授权这些权利的许可。如果您是在雇佣范围内或作为委托创作的作品创建的该材料，您可能并非权利持有人，并且可能需要在申请CC许可证之前获得许可。

Indicate rights not covered by the license. 指明许可证未涵盖的权利。

Prominently mark or indicate in a notice any rights held by third parties, such as publicity or trademark rights. This includes any content you used under exceptions or limitations to copyright, and any third party content used under another license (even if it is the same CC license as you applied). 在通知中显著标注或指明第三方拥有的权利，例如公开权或商标权。这包括您在版权的例外或限制下使用的任何内容，以及在另一个许可证下使用的任何第三方内容（即使它与您申请的CC许可证相同）。

Type of license 许可证类型

Think about how you want the material to be used. 考虑您希望如何使用这些材料。

Consider what you hope to achieve by sharing your work when determining which of the six CC licenses to apply. For example, if you want it to appear in a Wikipedia article, it must be licensed using BY-SA or a compatible license. 在确定应该应用哪种CC许可证时，考虑您分享作品时希望达到的目标。例如，如果您希望作品出现在维基百科的文章中，则必须使用BY-SA或兼容的许可证进行许可。

Consider any obligations that may affect what type of license you apply. 考虑可能影响您选择什么类型的许可证的任何义务。

Think about any obligations you have, such as licensing requirements from a funding source, employment agreement, or limitations on your ability to use a CC license imposed by a collecting society, that dictate which (if any) of the six CC licenses you can apply. 请考虑您可能存在的义务，例如来自资金来源、雇佣合同或由收藏机构规定的对使用CC许可证的限制，这些义务可能会决定您可以选择哪种（若有）CC许可证。

Additional provisions 附加规定

Consider offering a warranty. 考虑提供担保

If you are confident you have cleared all rights in the material, you may choose to warrant that the work does not violate the rights of any third parties. 如果您确信您已经清除了素材中的所有权利，那么考虑提供担保，保证这项作品不会侵犯任何第三方的权利。

Specify additional permissions, if desired.如果需要的话，请指定额外的权限。

You have the option of granting permissions above and beyond what the license allows; for example, allowing licensees to translate ND-licensed material. If so, consider using CC+ to indicate the additional permissions offered. 您可以选择授予超出许可证允许范围之外的权限；例如，允许被许可人翻译有限制修改许可的素材。如果有这样的需求，请考虑使用CC+来表示提供的额外权限。

Special preferences 特殊偏好

Specify attribution information if desired. 如果需要，请指定归属信息。

You may indicate particular attribution parties, a URI for the material, and other attribution information for licensees to retain. 您可以指定特定的归属方、材料的统一资源标识符 (URI) 和其他许可证接收人需要保留的归属信息。

Indicate any non binding requests. 指示任何非绑定请求。

You may ask licensees to adhere to your special requests, such as marking or describing changes they make to your material. 您可以要求被许可方遵守您的特殊要求，例如标记或描述他们对您的材料所做的更改。
