CCkielessä

CCkielessä is a term that emerged in Finnish online communities, particularly within discussions related to creative commons licenses and copyright. It can be translated roughly as "in the CC language" or "in the language of CC." The term is used to describe a way of thinking or a set of principles that align with the philosophy behind Creative Commons. This includes a focus on sharing, remixing, and open access to creative works, while still respecting the rights of creators.

When someone uses the phrase "CCkielessä," they are often referring to the practice of releasing their own work under a Creative Commons license, or advocating for the use of such licenses. It can also denote an understanding of the different types of Creative Commons licenses and their implications. For instance, someone operating "CCkielessä" would likely understand the difference between a CC BY license (attribution) and a CC BY-NC-SA license (attribution, non-commercial, share-alike).

The concept fosters a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing. It emphasizes the idea that creators can grant specific permissions for others to use their work without necessarily relinquishing all rights. This approach contrasts with traditional all-rights-reserved copyright, promoting a more flexible and permissive environment for creative endeavors. The term highlights a conscious decision to engage with intellectual property in a way that facilitates broader use and dissemination.
