A Creative Commons license allows the creator of a work to retain copyright while encouraging sharing and re-use. Contrary to popular belief, it is not "anti-copyright," but a broad license that specifies which uses do not require additional specific permission. Where strict copyright notifications assert "all rights reserved," Creative Commons values the attribution right above all, and licensors choose what other rights (commercial exploitation, the creation of derivative works (eg remixes)) they elect not to reserve.
The desire to expand the commons, or broadly usable materials, arose in response to continued extension of copyright term, which means the public domain is not growing as it would be expected. In the US, for example, no works have entered the public domain since the Copyright Term Extension Act in 1998, and none will enter public domain until 2019.
Creative Commons increases the base of materials creators can build upon, and gives creators a simple way to provide access to their works.
