Creative Commons Share Alive, basically it means that stuff posted here by the original author is free to use ---provided you give attribution AND allow others to use any derivative work you make just the same. It does not cover stuff not posted by the original author, as you only have the right to put your own stuff into CC or PD.

This is how creepypasta readers don't get in trouble with copyright, the authors basically allow the public to spread their work. Now you may not always have rights to make money off of the work of others, depending on the situation.
