Copyright©
The author is the one who decides. The simple fact of creating an kenya number data image already makes him the owner of the copyright, so it is not necessary to register it beforehand. If you find material with this type of license, you will not be able to use it unless you pay for the rights, since these would go directly to the buyer.

On the other hand , it is important to highlight the validity up to 70 years after the death of the creator, becoming public domain once this time has elapsed.

Copyleft
This type of license was created with the aim of regulating the rights of use of software, forming part of one of the four pillars of free culture. Its application has been used in all areas of copyright (literature, art, software, etc.). Despite its variables, it allows anyone to use, modify and redistribute the work with the only condition that the same copyrights are maintained: free distribution, use and modification.

Creative Commons
This is one of the most widely used licenses on the Internet. The creator decides the limitations of use of the work around four aspects: dissemination, commercialization, modification and recognition.

In many cases, such as stock image banks, you will find photographs in which this type of license allows you to use the photograph, but mentioning the artist or designer and preventing you from modifying the work.

This is a beneficial work for both the person who uses the material and the author. A quality but not relevant work can be used, allowing the illustrator, for example, to gain exposure for both the creation and his name.

You can now use image banks or other image resources taking into account what use you can make of them and to what extent you can modify the content taking into account the uses permitted by copyright.
