 * ==**Understanding Creative Commons License Types**==

**Attribution means:** You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted  work - and derivative works based upon it - but only if they give you credit.  You let others copy,  distribute, display, and perform your  work - and derivative works based upon it - but for noncommercial purposes only.  **No Derivative Works means:** You let others copy,  distribute, display, and perform only verbatim copies of your  work, not derivative works based upon it.  You allow others to  distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs your  work. 
 * Noncommercial means:**
 * Share Alike means:**

**Public Domain:** Public Domains items are items that have been either given to the public, are legally the publics, or they are so old that a copyright is no longer valid.  This means we don't know the license type of this  work. We either created it, or added it before we started tagging the audio with license types. Use for personal or noncommercial purpose
