You may download high resolution versions of the Creative Commons logos and use them in connection with your work or your website, provided you comply with their policies. Among other things, if you use the logos on a website or on your work, you may not alter the logos in any respect -- such as by changing the font, the proportions or the colours. CC's buttons, name and corporate logo (the "CC" in a circle) are trademarks of Creative Commons. You cannot use them in ways not permitted by their policies unless you first receive express, written permission. This means, for example, that you cannot (without their permission) print your own buttons and t-shirts using CC logos, although you can purchase them in CC's store.Creative Commons licenses and legal tools are intended for use by anyone who holds copyright to their work. This is frequently, but not always, the author of creator. Creative Commons has no authority to grant permission on behalf of those persons, nor does CC manage those rights on behalf of others. CC offers licenses and tools to the public free of charge and does not require that creators or other rights holders register with CC in order to apply a CC license to a work. This means that CC does not have special knowledge of who uses the licenses and for what purposes, nor does CC have a way to contact authors beyond means generally available to the public. If you would like to obtain additional permissions to use the work beyond those granted by the license that has been applied, you should contact the rights holder.
The URL extension ".cc" is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, a territory of Australia. However, it has gained popularity as a domain for various purposes, including creative and commercial websites, due to its resemblance to "creative commons" and its availability for registration. As a result, many organizations and individuals use ".cc" for branding and marketing purposes.
In copyright, CC stands for Creative Commons, an extremely broad license that lets the copyright holder specify what uses they will allow without additional permission. For example, CC-BY-NC means you can use my work for non-commercial uses (NC), as long as you properly attribute me (BY).
Yes; that's what the "share alike" part of the license means.
