For this assignment, I have licensed this blog using BY-NC-SA (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike ) Creative Commons License. I chose None Commercial and Share Alike options for simple reasons:

1. this blog was made for an educational purpose and is suppose to reflect my learning process and although the idea that someone would possibly use anything from this blog for commercial purposes is laughable and there is no chance of it happening (nor would I really care that much either), it is the principle of things: traditional copyright makes it hard to use copyrighted content for educational purposes (FairUse notwithstanding) and being a stubborn Russian that I am this is my personal way to protest against this kind of total control of the content.
2. the ShareAlike allows all work based on mine carry the same license, meaning that NC clause will continue.
3. and the last but not least is to promote the culture of responsible sharing and educate others about Creative Commons.

Possible scenarios:

1. “The proper way” — someone downloads the Copyright infographic I have created, takes advantage of adaptation allowed clause and modifies it for the better (of course!), provides attribution by including link to my post with the infographic, licenses their work under the same BY-NC-SA CC license and then uses it in the presentation at a conference.
2. “Breaking the law” — someone downloads the Copyright infographic I have created,takes advantage of adaptation allowed clause and modifies it for the better (of course!) and then posts it to GraphicRiver as a paid template breaking the NonCommercial use clause. Furthermore, because the work was used for commercial purposes it also breaks the ShareAlike clause as this derivative won’t register under the same CC license. If this fictional scenario happens, I would contact the person who violated the terms of the license directly explaining the problem and asking them to take the work down from the sale site and offer it under the same license. Under the CC 4.0, the violators lose their license immediately and have 30 days to remedy the situation.
