Reusing works that have a Creative Commons license ALWAYS requires attribution.
Learn how to attribute CC-licensed works by following these best practices-- or use a browser plug-in such as OpenAttribute to help you.
The most common forms of attribution include the three elements, two of which are hyperlinked:
(c) Author Name "Name of work [hyperlinked to where you found the work]" License [hyperlinked to license]
For example:
(c) Quinn Dombrowski "Red and blue" CC BY-SA 2.0
License terms on some sites (this one is from Flickr.com) may appear as Creative Commons icons or appear when a hyperlink is moused over.
