Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Matrix: CC BY and BY-SA permit adaptation and commercial use; BY-ND and BY-NC-ND forbid adaptations; BY-NC, BY-NC-SA and BY-NC-ND forbid commercial use. · locator: License comparison table · source: https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/cclicenses/
- [sourced_fact] Elements: BY requires credit, SA requires adaptations under the same terms, NC defined as 'not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation', ND forbids derivatives. · locator: License elements · source: https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/cclicenses/
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
