Meaning
CC BY is a Creative Commons attribution license family; the exact version and applicable conditions matter.
A practical example
A reuse record can store the author's requested credit, the file's license link and whether the image was cropped.
What to check
The label alone is not a complete clearance decision. Check the selected version, the actual rights holder and any rights not covered by that license.
For a related planning or text task, open the source attribution builder. The tool has its own limits; its result is not a measurement or approval of every concept described here.
