| | Things to Think About - Creative Commons |
 | | Creative Commons licenses do not apply to things such as ideas, factual information or other things that are not protected by copyright. |
| | They do not give you the ability to restrict anything that is otherwise permitted by exceptions or limitations to copyright—including, importantly, fair use or fair dealing—nor do they give you the ability to control anything that is not protected by copyright law, such as facts and ideas. |
| | So you need to think carefully when choosing a Creative Commons license to make sure that you are happy for people to be using your work consistent with the terms of the license, even if you later stop distributing your work. |
