No Derivative Works means:
You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.

Public Domain Dedication (CC0) means:
You, the copyright holder, waive your interest in your work and place the work as completely as possible in the public domain so others may freely exploit and use the work without restriction under copyright or database law.

Public Domain Work means:

Typically, works become part of the public domain because their term of protection under copyright law expired, the owner failed to follow certain required formalities, or the works are not eligible for copyright protection.

You can use CC-licensed materials as long as you follow the license conditions. One condition of all CC licenses is attribution. Here are some good (and not so good) examples of attribution. Note: If you want to learn how to mark your own material with a CC license go here.

Examples of attribution

Creative Commons Attribution-share-alike License 3.0

Here is a photo. Following it are some examples of how people might attribute it.

This is an ideal attribution

'Creative Commons 10th Birthday Celebration San Francisco' by tvol is licensed under CC BY 2.0

Because:

Title? 'Creative Commons 10th Birthday Celebration San Francisco'

Author? 'tvol' - linked to his profile page

Source? 'Creative Commons 10th Birthday Celebration San Francisco' - linked to original Flickr page

License? 'CC BY 2.0' - linked to license deed

This is a pretty good attribution

Because:

Title? Title is not noted (it should be) but at least the source is linked.

Author? 'tvol'

Source? 'Photo' - linked to original Flickr page

License? 'CC BY' - linked to license deed

This is an incorrect attribution

Photo: Creative Commons

Learn typing fast and easy. Because:

Title? Title is not noted.

Author? Creative Commons is not the author of this photo.

Source? No link to original photo.

License? There is no mention of the license, much less a link to the license. 'Creative Commons' is an organization.

This is a good attribution for material you modified slightly

'Creative Commons 10th Birthday Celebration San Francisco' by tvol, used under CC BY / Desaturated from original

Because:

Title, Author, Source, and License are all noted

Modification? 'Desaturated from original'

This is a good attribution for material from which you created a derivative work

This work, '90fied', is a derivative of 'Creative Commons 10th Birthday Celebration San Francisco' by tvol, used under CC BY. '90fied' is licensed under CC BY by [Your name here].

Because:

Original Title, Author, Source, and License are all noted

Derivative? 'This work, '90fied', is a derivative of..'

New author of the derivative work is also noted

Note: If you're at a point where you are licensing derivative works, go to Marking your work with a CC license.

Creative Commons Attribution-sharealike License Renewal

This is a good attribution for material from multiple sources

Because:

Title? Specific works are named, eg. 'Box-and-whisker Plots'

Author? Different authors noted for the different works.

Source? Original materials are linked for each work

License? The different licenses (Creative Commons Attribution for Collaborative Statistics and Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike for the Khan Academy video) are spelled out and linked for each work

Lastly, it is clear which attribution belongs to which work.

You can visit the Saylor.org Introduction to Statistics course page to see how they marked it up directly.

Title, Author, Source, License

A good rule of thumb is to use the acronym TASL, which stands for Title, Author, Source, License.

Title - What is the name of the material?

If a title was provided for the material, include it. Sometimes a title is not provided; in that case, don't worry about it.

Author - Who owns the material?

Name the author or authors of the material in question. Sometimes, the licensor may want you to give credit to some other entity, like a company or pseudonym. In rare cases, the licensor may not want to be attributed at all. In all of these cases, just do what they request.

Source - Where can I find it?

Since you somehow accessed the material, you know where to find it. Provide the source of the material so others can, too. Since we live in the age of the Internet, this is usually a URL or hyperlink where the material resides.

License - How can I use it?

Creative Commons Attribution-sharealike 2.5 License

You are obviously using the material for free thanks to the CC license, so make note of it. Don't just say the material is Creative Commons, because that says nothing about how the material can actually be used. Remember that there are six different CC licenses; which one is the material under? Name and provide a link to it, eg. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ for CC BY.

→ If the licensor included a license notice with more information, include that as well.

Lastly, is there anything else I should know before I use it?

When you accessed the material originally did it come with any copyright notices; a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties; or a notice of previous modifications? (That was a mouthful!) Because that kind of legal mumbo jumbo is actually pretty important to potential users of the material. So best practice is to just retain all of that stuff by copying and pasting such notices into your attribution. Don't make it anymore complicated than it is -- just pass on any info you think is important.

→ Regarding modifications: Don't forget to note if you modified the work yourself (example). If you are at the point where you are creating and licensing derivative works (example), see Marking your work with a CC license.

These best practices are based on actual CC license requirements. Noting the title is a requirement of all CC licenses version 3.0 or earlier, optional for 4.0. Noting the author, source, license, and retaining any extra notices is a requirement of all CC licenses. See Devil in the details.
