 * Copyright** is a legal concept, enacted by [|governments], giving the creator of an original work of authorship [|exclusive rights] to control its distribution for a certain time period, after which the work enters the [|public domain]. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but usually provides the author with other rights as well, such as the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other, related rights.

 * [[image:Copyleft.png width="51" height="47"]]Copyleft** is a [|play] on the word [|copyright] and describes the practice of using copyright law to remove restrictions on distributing copies and modified versions of a work for others and requiring that the same freedoms be preserved in modified versions. Source Wikipedia


 * [[image:CC-logo.png width="139" height="36"]]Creative Commons (CC)** is a [|non-profit organization] devoted to expanding the range of [|creative] works available for others to build upon legally and to share.[|[][|1][|]] The organization has released several copyright licenses known as [|Creative Commons licenses]. These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of other creators. Source Wikipedia


 * Fair use** is a doctrine in [|United States copyright law] that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as use for scholarship or review. It provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor [|balancing test]. Source Wikipedia

 * Open source** is a development methodology,[|[][|1][|]] which offers practical accessibility to a product's source (goods and knowledge). Some consider open source as one of various possible design approaches, while others consider it a critical [|strategic] element of their [|operations]. Source Wikipedia

David **http://www.spellingcity.com/** **The site above allows you or the students to put in any spelling words. It will then remember the words, teach the words (reads out loud the word, its spelling, and then puts it in a sentence-great for ESL and low) and then provides a dozen spelling games to help them learn the words.**  **You can register for free and save your lists.**
