Canvas can track the default license for content inside of your course. By default all content is considered copyrighted, but you can also release your content to the public domain or choose a Creative Commons license. Creative Commons provides a number of different licenses, which can be confusing. However, the licenses are all based on four conditions, so we can help you choose a license. Select which of the conditions you want to apply and we'll show you the correct license for those conditions.
