USING CC LICENSES AND CC-LICENSED WORKS - 67 - Whatever method you use to mark your content, there are several important steps for proper CC license marking. Here are three cases in which you will mark CC-licensed works:
 * 1) Marking your own work so that others can easily discover it, reuse it, and give you credit or attribution. The best practice for marking your work is to follow the TASL approach for your own portions of the content, and for the portions of the content created by others:
 * 2) *T = Title
 * 3) *A = Author (tell reusers who to give credit to)
 * 4) *S = Source (give reusers a link to the resource)
 * 5) *L = License (provide a link to the CC license deed)
 * When providing attribution, the goal is to mark the work with full TASL information. When you don’t have some of the TASL information about a work, do the best you can and include as much detail as possible in the marking statement.
 * You should note that starting with Version 4.0, the licenses no longer require a reuser to include the title as part of the attribution statement. However, if the title is provided, then Creative Commons encourages you to include it when attributing the author.
 * For more examples of how to mark your own work in different contexts, spend some time looking through Creative Commons’ extensive marking page “Marking Your Work with a CC License” (licensed CC BY 4.0 and available at https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Marking_your_work_with_a_CC_license). See the caption of figure 4.5 as an example of marking an image with TASL information. It is a good example of CC marking because TASL with all appropriate links is provided in the attribution statement.
 * 1) Indicating if your work is based on someone else’s work. If your work is a modification or adaptation of another work, you should indicate this and provide attribution to the creator of the original work. You should also include a link to the work you modified and indicate what license applies to that work. Figure 4.6 is an example of this.
 * 2) Marking work created by others that you are incorporating into your own work. Figure 4.7 is an example here from a Saylor Academy course.
