go online and find two different images with two different licenses. describe the image and license in the chart below.
image description license type rules for using the image

Explanation:

Scenario 1:

Ernesto wants sharing but no alterations. CC - BY - ND allows others to share his work as long as they give him credit, but they cannot create derivative works. So it meets his needs.

Scenario 2:

Maggie and Eric only want credit when their work is used. CC - BY license requires others to give them credit when using their recordings, fulfilling their requirement.
For the Image Hunt part, here is an example (you can find real - life ones online):
Image 1: A landscape photo of a mountain range. License Type: CC - BY - SA. Rules for using the image: You can share, adapt the image, but must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.
Image 2: A close - up photo of a flower. License Type: CC - BY - NC. Rules for using the image: You can share, adapt the image, but must give appropriate credit, and you cannot use it for commercial purposes.

Answer:

Scenario 1:

CC - BY - ND. Because Ernesto wants people to share his work but not modify it, and this license allows sharing with proper attribution and prohibits derivative works.

Scenario 2:

CC - BY. Because Maggie and Eric only want credit when their recordings are used, and this license requires attribution for any use.

Image Hunt (example):

• Image 1: A landscape photo of a mountain range. License Type: CC - BY - SA. Rules for using the image: Share, adapt with attribution, same - license sharing for derivatives.
• Image 2: A close - up photo of a flower. License Type: CC - BY - NC. Rules for using the image: Share, adapt with attribution, non - commercial use only.
