| Explanation & Hint:
When a podcast is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives (CC BY-ND) license, it allows certain uses as long as the original work is not altered. Here are the appropriate actions from your list based on this license:
- Share it as long as you give credit to the author: This is correct. The “BY” part of the CC BY-ND license requires that you give appropriate credit to the creator, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You can do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
- Post it to your website: This is also correct. You are allowed to share the podcast by posting it on your website as long as you do not alter the original podcast in any way and you give appropriate credit as specified by the license.
The other options are not permissible under the CC BY-ND license:
- Sell it as part of a compilation: While you might interpret selling it as part of a compilation as a form of sharing, this could be problematic under the ND clause if the compilation implies that the podcast was altered or remixed. Moreover, how the compilation is marketed or used commercially might influence this interpretation, so caution is advised.
- Add ads to it and post it to your website: Adding ads to the podcast would likely constitute a modification, which is prohibited under the “NoDerivatives” (ND) clause of the license.
- Use an interview or song from it for your own podcast: Extracting parts of the podcast to use in your own podcast would be considered creating a derivative work, which is explicitly prohibited under the ND clause of the license.
Therefore, the allowed actions under the CC BY-ND license are sharing the podcast with appropriate credit and posting it unaltered to your website. |
