The nonprofit [|Creative Commons] offers six default licenses as an alternative to full copyright so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

Creative Commons licensing is a common option on major photo and video sharing services including Flickr and YouTube.

Creative Commons is a set of licenses that allows you to freely distribute your content for anyone to use for any purpose, while still protecting the copyright of that content.

"The most common misconception is that when you put a Creative Commons license on whatever you want to share, a lot of people think that you give up your copyright you give up your ownership. But that’s not true. You get to choose what you want to share and what you don’t." - Cable Green, [|Give and take: how an open copyright policy improves post-secondary institutions]
