YouTube has set up a library of videos carrying the Creative Commons license, that creators can easily reuse and incorporate into their work, the Google video sharing service said on Thursday in its blog.

The copyright licenses from Creative Commons enable licensors to retain copyright while allowing others to copy, distribute, and make some uses of their work, at least non-commercially, according to Creative Commons.

As part of the launch of Creative Commons licensing on YouTube, users will be able "to mark any or all of your videos with the Creative Commons CC BY license that lets others share and remix your work, so long as they give you credit", Stace Peterson, a software engineer at YouTube said in his blog post.
