The Spell by Flickr mashup is an example of attribution. According to Flickr, attribution means you allow others to copy, display, and distribute your copyrighted work. Also, you can use their copyrighted work to create something new. Spell by Flickr takes pictures of letters and creates words. The pictures are under a Creative Commons license that allows you to use their materials to build upon or create something new. Spell with Flickr uses the pictures to makes a new product.

You must be careful not to break copyright laws when making copies to distribute or using information from others. I still don't completely using everything dealing with Creative Commons licensing, but I will use the Creative Commons website to search for materials to use and adapt for my needs.
