Copyright law is what it is. CC licenses are just that, licenses which work within the applicable copyright law - they do not supersede it or stand separate from it in any way, with the exception of C0 which is putting things in the public domain and does pull the work entirely out of copyright.</span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><span style="font-size:12.8px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><span style="font-size:12.8px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">Copyright holders use licenses all the time to provide authorized use to copyrighted works.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi – Maybe this is not the right forum, but maybe some of you will know.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we started collecting agreements from thesis authors agreeing to put their theses online, I borrowed from various agreements, including Dukespace. There’s this phrase “[we]
<span style="font-size:10.0pt">will make the submission available to the public using a Creative Commons Attribution / Non-commercial / No derivative works license accompanied by a copyright statement indicating the author’s continuing rights.”</span> That
sounded good to me, but it took me a while to realize that wasn’t EITHER a CC license OR a copyright statement. I had some vague feeling that CC was more modern and supported sharing more than Copyright, but I didn’t know how to support that argument to students
who asked. I’m now wondering if the reason to do both is because CC is an interntional license and US Copyright applies only in the US and nations that have agreed to abide by US copyright.

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And then there’s the question of students who want to subsequently publish their content commercially. Should I step back and just put simple copyright statements on these?<u></u><u></u></p>
