Introduction

With the introduction of Myanmar’s new Copyright Act, it is essential to ensure that you seek appropriate permission to use copyrighted resources, as required. As we saw earlier, resources that are openly licensed do not require permission to share or copy them. This section of the course looks at more reasons why you might want to use CC-licensed materials or look for CC resources on more ‘open’ licences, such as those that enable changes to be made to the resource.

Whatever resources you are using, whether CC-licensed or copyrighted, it is essential to reference what you use. We will take a closer look at referencing in Section 4.4.
