Licencing:

Open license refers to a license that respects the intellectual property rights of the copyright owner and provides permissions granting the public the rights to access, re-use, re-purpose, adapt and redistribute educational materials.

A Creative Commons copyright license is a type of public copyright license that allows free distribution of a copyrighted work or work. When an author wants to give the right to share or make changes to the work he has created, he uses a CC, or creative commons license.

There are various types of Creative commons licenses as well. In order to understand what the terms of use of the resource you found are, you should look at what type of creative commons license it has. We can understand this from the license symbols that we can see in the resources.
