Some editions on CPDL are released under a Creative Commons license. There are many different types of license so to know what you can and cannot do with the edition, visit the pages linked to below. If you can't find a direct link to the license below, search from the Creative Commons home page. All licenses require that the author and the licensing terms are correctly mentioned in case of redistribution, but differ in the licensing terms as described below.
Attribution
The "Attribution" only license is the freest CC license, which allows free use and the creation of derived works (e.g. arrangements).
This is roughly equivalent to the BSD license for software.
Specific national jurisdictions
The "Attribution-Share Alike" license also allows free use, but requires for derived works that they also be distributed under the Share-Alike license.
This is roughly equivalent to the GNU General Public license for software.
