All of us have come across the term Copyright, sometime or the other.
What is a Copyright?
A Copyright
grants the author or the creator of a work, exclusive
rights for a specified time period. After the time
period is over, the work passes into the public
domain.
In other words, a Copyright gives the author or creator specific rights to his/her creation. After the Copyright lapses, anyone can use the creation.
How is this relevant?

While creating lessons or while participating in discussions or simply creating content, we are tempted to use something that already exists, simply because it will save us time. However, we have to be careful about whatever it is that we intend to use, since using copyrighted material will lead to copyright infringement.
Also, when
you create your lessons/tests/quizzes/etc on LearnHub, more often
than not, you will be asked which license would you like to release
your work under? Having a knowledge of licensing issues will help
you in this regard.
What happens if I violate a Copyright?
