        <source src="../video/shared-culture.mp4" type="video/mp4"></source>
        <source src="../video/shared-culture.webm" type="video/webm"></source>
        <track src="../captions/cc-en.vtt" srclang="en" kind="subtitles" label="English"></track>

So we wanted to create a simple way, for creators to say to the world here's the freedom that I want to run with my creative work. Here are the things you're allowed to do. Can I reproduce it, can I copy it, can I put it in my text book? Can I use that photograph? Can I make a new version of it? Creative Commons gives tools to creators to make a choice about copyright.
