"The chart below shows which CC-licensed material can be remixed. To use the chart, find a license on the left column and on the top-right row. If there is a checkmark in the box where that row and column intersect, then the works can be remixed. If there is an “X” in the box, then the works may not be remixed unless an exception or limitation applies." -- Creative Commons FAQ
