image description license type rules for using the image

Explanation:

Scenario 1:

CC - BY - ND is best for Ernesto. The BY (Attribution) requirement ensures he gets credit when his work is shared. The ND (No - Derivatives) stops others from altering his original art by adding text etc.

Scenario 2:

CC - BY is ideal for Maggie and Eric. The BY (Attribution) rule guarantees they receive credit whenever their recordings are used, which is their main concern.

Image Hunt (example responses):

• Image 1: A landscape photo of a mountain range. License Type: CC - BY - SA. Rules for using the image: Must give credit to the photographer and any derivative works must be shared under the same license.
• Image 2: A close - up photo of a flower. License Type: CC - BY - NC. Rules for using the image: Must give credit to the creator and not use the image for commercial purposes.

Answer:

Scenario 1:

CC - BY - ND. Because it allows sharing while preventing derivative works that could alter the original art.

Scenario 2:

CC - BY. Because it ensures the creators get credit when their work is used.
