With a choice of six (free) available standard licenses, the copyright holder determines to what extent his or her work may be further distributed, and under which conditions this may be allowed.

With a Creative Commons license, you retain all your rights, but you give others permission to distribute your work, to share with others, or to work on some of the licenses. Offering your work under a Creative Commons license does not mean that you give up your copyrights. Without a Creative Commons license, everyone should explicitly request permission for each use of your work. With a Creative Commons license you can make it clear to everyone at once under what conditions they can use your work without the need for permission.

Sharing ideas is an accelerator for development, but also the manner of working is important for keeping a business up-to-date.

Agile working is an example of a relatively new way of working which derived from the software development industry. The term agile was popularized, in this context, by the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. The values and principles espoused in this manifesto were derived from and underpin a broad range of software development frameworks, including “Scrum” and “Kanban”.

A Manifesto for Agile Software Development was written:

Uncover better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work they have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
