Citing CC licensed content

a little common sense goes a long way!

• attribution (BY) is obligatory: name of the author and name of the work (if available)
• link to the original source
• mention and link to the license/(c) status (You don't need to  credit PD works) 
• mention if you remix/adapt, link to the original version of the work

Don't forget:

CC licenses are operative only when applied to material in which a copyright exists, and even then only when a particular use would otherwise not be permitted by copyright.
