The idea is essentially to allow an author of copyrighted work to share their work in ways more open than traditional copyrights.

Essentially Creative Commons is a way to license your work in a way that allows you to choose which descriptions you want to put on things like redistribution, derivative works, attributing the author... and if you want you can literally declare that your work is public domain.
