I would prefer to use the Creative Commons Attribution license because it allows others to freely share and build upon my work as long as they give me credit. I believe in sharing knowledge and ideas, so I would want people to use my content to create something new and exciting. It also helps protect my rights as the original creator by ensuring that others cannot claim my work as their own. This license promotes collaboration and creativity, which is important to me as a student and aspiring artist.
