the work can be used but
cannot be altered
one can use the work
without charging
people for it
one should share a work
with the same license as
what is applied to
the original work
one needs to credit the
original author for the
work they are using

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to match each Creative Commons symbol (BY, NC, SA, ND) with its correct definition. Let's analyze each symbol and its corresponding definition:

1. Symbol: BY (Attribution)

• Definition: "One needs to credit the original author for the work they are using" (This is the core of the Attribution license—giving credit to the original creator).

2. Symbol: NC (Non - Commercial)

• Definition: "One can use the work without charging people for it" (Non - Commercial means the work can't be used for commercial gain, i.e., no charging people for using it).

3. Symbol: SA (Share - Alike)

• Definition: "One should share a work with the same license as what is applied to the original work" (Share - Alike requires that if you share derivative works, they must be under the same license as the original).

4. Symbol: ND (No - Derivatives)

• Definition: "The work can be used but cannot be altered" (No - Derivatives means the work can be used as is, but no modifications are allowed).

Matching:

• BY → "One needs to credit the original author for the work they are using"
• NC → "One can use the work without charging people for it"
• SA → "One should share a work with the same license as what is applied to the original work"
• ND → "The work can be used but cannot be altered"

If we assume the task is to match these (for example, in a drag - and - drop or matching question), the correct pairings are as above.

If we were to present the answers in a table (for clarity, assuming a matching question where we pair the symbol to the definition):

Symbol	Definition
NC	One can use the work without charging people for it
SA	One should share a work with the same license as what is applied to the original work
ND	The work can be used but cannot be altered
