About Creative Commons licensing
When you license your tweets under a Creative Commons license you make it easy for other people to find out if and how they can use them. If you have a blog, or you post photos to Flickr, you'll probably already be using Creative Commons licensing.
Public Domain Dedication
The license that you choose is entirely your decision. We license our tweets under a Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication license but there are other choices.
