However, in the years following the BBB statements, some writers used the term "open access" in the BBB sense while others used it for works that were merely gratis or free of price restrictions. When Harnad wanted to write about all-rights-reserved gratis articles, he was faced with the option of referring to them as "open access" (in contravention of the BBB definitions) or redefining "open access" to include non-libre works. </p><p>The compromise arrived at by Suber and Harnad was to identify two classes of open access: <i>gratis</i> open access, which is merely free of charge, and <i>libre</i> open access, which is free of charge as well as free from one or more permission restrictions. However, the standard definition of libre requires that a work be free from a particular set of permission restrictions; some works that qualify as libre open access would not qualify as libre (for example, those with a <a href="/wiki/Creative_Commons" title="Creative Commons">Creative Commons</a> NonCommercial or NoDerivatives licence term). </p><p>Suber continues to support the use of the Creative Commons Attribution licence for articles, a libre licence in every sense of the word.<sup id="cite_ref-Peter_Suber_on_the_future_of_open_access_176-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Peter_Suber_on_the_future_of_open_access-176"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>176<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><br /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Creative_Commons">Creative Commons</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:KTucker/Libre_knowledge_(draft)&action=edit&section=42" title="Edit section: Creative Commons"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Creative_Commons" title="Creative Commons">Creative Commons</a></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:CC-logo.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/CC-logo.svg/128px-CC-logo.svg.png" decoding="async" width="128" height="31" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/CC-logo.svg/192px-CC-logo.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/CC-logo.svg/256px-CC-logo.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="123" /></a><figcaption>Creative Commons logo</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/Lawrence_Lessig" title="Lawrence Lessig">Lawrence Lessig</a>, founder of the <a href="/wiki/Creative_Commons" title="Creative Commons">Creative Commons</a>, maintains that freedom means different things to different people and through the <a href="/wiki/Creative_Commons" title="Creative Commons">Creative Commons</a> developed a range of <a href="/wiki/Creative_Commons_license" title="Creative Commons license">licences</a> enabling creators (e.g. academics, artists, authors, readers, educators, learners, musicians, etc.) to indicate the uses and freedoms they would like to allow.<sup id="cite_ref-different-freedoms_177-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-different-freedoms-177"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>177<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Two of the active Creative Commons licences, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Attribution</a> and <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">Attribution-ShareAlike</a>, are libre licences marked as ‘approved for free cultural works’.
