Attributions and Licensing

All Creative Commons licenses require that authors/creators be recognized. The only exception to this is those resources that are in the public domain. Resources that are in the public domain may bear the license CC0 (CC zero) to indicate this status. While many openly licensed resources may request and not require attribution, providing a proper attribution is a recognized best practice.
