 What is Creative Commons?
Here is the latest common craft video entitled "Wanna Work Together?" (Time 3:01) which clearly explains what Creative Commons is all about:
Creative Commons has:
1. Resources that are freely accessibly
2. Resources that you can legally copy, perform, publicly display, modify, build upon, reuse, and digitally distribute.

What do the symbols mean?
