Which license grants the right to create derivative works but requires using the same license for those works?

The correct choice is based on the principles of the Creative Commons licenses. The license that specifically allows for the creation of derivative works while mandating that those derivative works carry the same license is the Creative Commons ShareAlike (CC-SA) license.

This principle of sharing alike means that if you adapt or modify the original work, you are required to license your new creation under the same CC-SA terms. This ensures that any derivative works remain open and accessible under similar conditions, ultimately promoting a culture of sharing and collaboration.

In contrast, other licenses such as CC-BY (Attribution) allow derivative works without the same licensing requirement, meaning you can adapt it and use a different license if you want. The CC-ND (No Derivative Works) license completely prohibits any derivative works from being created at all, while the CC-NC (Non-Commercial) license restricts the use of the original work and its derivatives to non-commercial purposes but does not inherently require the same licensing for derivatives.

Thus, the ShareAlike condition is key to understanding why this license fits the criteria outlined in the question.
