This document discusses common legal principles for open licensing and the importance of clarifying legal standards. It notes that license-free works are in the public domain and CC licenses like CC BY enable free reuse including commercial use. Legal clarity is important to avoid chilling effects and legal problems. Clarifying standards enables efficient reuse, citizen participation, innovation and economic activity. Challenges remain around harmonizing limitations and exceptions across jurisdictions.
Creative Commons Public Domain Legal Tools and InfrastructureMike Linksvayer
The document summarizes Creative Commons' efforts to support and enhance the public domain through various legal tools and infrastructure projects. It discusses why the public domain matters to Creative Commons, challenges around accessibility and supply of public domain works, and several Creative Commons initiatives including Public Domain Dedication, the Science Commons Open Access Data Protocol, CC0 for public domain marking and assertion, and plans for a copyright registry and workshops.
The document discusses increasing public access to publicly funded resources in the United States. It covers perspectives on transparency, economic impact, communication, and citizen participation. Current policies and initiatives regarding public access to publicly funded research and educational content are examined, including the Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act and the World Health Organization's open access plan. The goal is to make more taxpayer-funded work openly available to the public.
Creative Commons offers a more permission URL, however this does not contain any useful machine readably information for double licensing of works. Hence we suggest to integrate a semantic copyright ontology into RDFa.
Towards License Interoperability: Patterns of Sustainable Sharing PolicyMike Linksvayer
The document discusses challenges and progress toward legal interoperability for open content and public sector information (PSI) licensing. It describes how free/libre open source software (FLOSS) has largely achieved interoperability over 25+ years through efforts like the GPL and agreements on definitions. For open content and PSI, proliferation of licenses initially caused issues, but adoption of Creative Commons licenses and others has increased, though database rights remain a challenge. Key initiatives like CC and Open Knowledge Foundation are working to resolve remaining incompatibilities and reduce unnecessary license proliferation to fully realize the potential of openly licensed content and PSI through interoperability.

How far behind Free Software is Free Culture?Mike Linksvayer
The document discusses the history and current state of free culture and how it compares to free and open source software. Some key points made include:
- Free culture is at least a decade behind free software in many areas due to the more diverse nature of cultural works.
- Mass collaboration projects like Wikipedia have seen faster success similar to key free software projects, while other cultural works have grown more slowly.
- Major businesses and investments have been made in free software, while free culture has not seen the same level of engagement from large media and cultural companies.
This document discusses license interoperability and the lack thereof between different license models. It notes that public domain and Creative Commons Attribution licenses allow for the highest degree of interoperability, while share-alike licenses and those with non-commercial clauses present problems and legal uncertainty. National open data licenses also attempt to address interoperability but still face issues around privacy, trademarks and other concerns beyond just copyright. Overall license complexity and the interaction of copyright with other laws pose challenges to achieving full legal interoperability between works.
This document discusses legal interoperability issues regarding open data licensing. It notes that for data to be freely mixed and reused, licensing needs to allow this legally without prohibitive transaction costs. Several existing open data licenses are described, but perfect legal interoperability is difficult to achieve. Best practices include using licenses like CC0 that are "universal donors" and promoting reuse of data licensed under ShareAlike. National open data licenses should strive for harmonization and avoid custom licenses when possible.
The document summarizes the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI), which defines a set of metadata terms for describing digital resources. It originated in 1995 and defines 15 original terms like title, creator, and date. The terms are defined using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and can be qualified to provide additional detail. Examples are provided of how to represent the terms in XML.
The document discusses options for revising the noncommercial (NC) licenses in Creative Commons' version 4.0 release. It notes that NC licenses have issues like a lack of clear definition, underuse of non-NC licenses, and built-in non-interoperability. Some proposed options are: (1) phasing out NC licenses over time, (2) simplifying the suite by dropping two NC licenses, (3) rebranding NC licenses under a different domain, or (4) clarifying the NC definition. The document analyzes pros and cons of different approaches but does not make a recommendation.

This document discusses using network visualization to analyze cultural heritage documents. It provides an example of visualizing relationships within the Occupy Wall Street project list. Networks can represent various types of relationships, like organizations and linguistic associations. Cultural documents often contain information about relationships that can be explored through network analysis. The document outlines the data structure for networks, including edge and node tables. It also discusses using the Gephi software to analyze and visualize networks, and provides some examples of network analyses like categorization, collaboration, and provenance.
The document discusses opportunities for collaboration between the free software and free culture movements. It outlines their shared interests in defeating digital rights management and proprietary silos. Some potential areas for collaboration include open formats, free media creation tools, and making more cultural works accessible and modifiable like free software. Sharing free software expertise and spreading appreciation for free culture works could help both movements.

The document discusses using the TIB|AV Portal to provide long-term preservation and access to open source geospatial (OSGeo) conference videos through assigning digital object identifiers (DOIs). It notes the portal currently hosts over 100 hours of OSGeo video content and is actively collecting more. Assigning DOIs to videos in the portal allows for citation, quotation of video segments, and integration into the linked open data framework to enable new ways of mining and analyzing video content. The goal is to better credit video producers, provide improved search capabilities for consumers, and ensure the scientific value of these resources is preserved over time.

The document discusses various types and strategies for creating value from content, data, services and platforms through different licensing models. It provides 12 examples of transaction types involving licensing exchanges between rights holders, end users, business users and other parties. The models range from selling access to content and services, to free and open access strategies aimed at broader dissemination or contributions to achieve other non-monetary goals.
A proposal to adopt an approach inspired by rightsstatements.org:
1. Create a set of rights statements specific to news and media
2. Host the rights statements using the IPTC CV server
3. Create an editorial process for adding new rights statements
4. Document how to use the rights statements – and maybe even implement an evaluation engine with explanations
5. Document how to mix in custom statements with IPTC ones

This document provides an overview of Creative Commons licenses. It discusses what Creative Commons is, how CC licenses create a spectrum from most restrictive to least restrictive, and how CC metadata can help with discoverability of works. It also addresses common questions about non-commercial use and how to properly attribute CC licensed works. The key points are that CC licenses reduce transaction costs, metadata improves discoverability, and understanding non-commercial use and attribution are important for both content creators and users.
Introduction to IPTC Rights - RightsML and ODRLStuart Myles
Publishers need a standard to express rights and permissions for content in a machine-readable format. RightsML is a standard developed by IPTC based on ODRL to encode permissions, restrictions, and obligations for reuse of content. The document discusses updates to RightsML 1.2 including support for additional encodings like JSON and linking to related efforts on expressing rights statements and policies for open data and cultural works.
The document discusses the commercial success of Nine Inch Nails' 2008 album Ghosts I-IV, which was released under a Creative Commons license. It reported over 750,000 purchase and download transactions in the first week, totaling over $1.6 million in sales. The $300 'Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition' sold out in less than three days. The rest of the document provides links to Creative Commons projects and resources.
The document discusses the use of Creative Commons licenses for research data. It notes that funders and universities are pushing for open access to research articles and data. However, applying a CC BY license fully transfers copyright to the public domain. For data, researchers must ensure they own the copyright and are authorized to license it. Less restrictive licenses like CC BY-NC still allow commercial reuse with permission. The document debates finding a balance between open access and allowing researchers to control dissemination and potential rewards from their data.
Be Innovative with Copyright - Introduction to Open Source Business Models Haggen So
The recent popularity of sharing economy businesses demonstrates the innovation in exercising different strategies in property rights can lead to further increase the efficiency in the market. Open Source Business Models are similar to the sharing economy in the area of copyright. I am going to briefly introduce the different licences including Free and Open Source Licences and Creative Commons Licences. Examples of interesting business models built around these licences will then be presented.
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and how foundations and philanthropists can support OER through funding initiatives. It suggests foundations allocate $2 billion over four years for open licenses textbooks for 90 university courses. It also advocates for integrating open principles into philanthropic efforts by making open the default and supporting open through missions, programs, and infrastructure. Technology is said to deserve a bigger role in advancing open education.

Lessons Learned From Consumer Social MediaAndreaNowack
Traditional PR is becoming less influential as social media grows in importance. Some key facts about social media include over 2 billion Google searches per day and over 1.7 trillion tweets to date. The changing media landscape has seen a shift from traditional push media to user-generated content online. Companies must learn to effectively engage with consumers on social media by listening to feedback, being transparent, recognizing influential bloggers, testing messages, and integrating online and offline strategies. While regulations still apply, healthcare and pharmaceutical companies can also benefit from social media to communicate with physicians, patients and build their brands.
The document discusses issues around cultural heritage legislation and licensing digital cultural works. It notes there are inconsistencies in policies, no simple licensing procedure, and no coherent revenue model. It proposes updating legislation, automating licensing, including Creative Commons or public domain provisions, and considering public mission and business models. Dilemmas around licensing public domain material or not are presented, as well as options like non-commercial licenses, government licenses, and fair use licenses. Suggestions include using public domain markings, the most liberal Creative Commons license, and providing clear licensing information.
Singapore has very limited natural water resources and relies heavily on imported water, recycled water, and desalination to meet its needs. It has implemented various water conservation programs to encourage saving water and developed NEWater, a highly purified recycled water, to ensure a stable and sustainable water supply and lessen dependence on foreign imports as the population grows. NEWater goes through an advanced purification process using membrane technologies to treat used water to high standards that make it safe for both non-potable and potable use.
Creative Commons develops legal and technical tools to allow for greater sharing of creative works through copyright licenses and dedicating works to the public domain. It was founded in 2001 as a nonprofit organization and has grown to operate worldwide. Creative Commons licenses provide simple, standardized ways for creators to grant copyright permissions for use, modification, and distribution of their works. The licenses combine options for attribution, sharing-alike, non-commercial use, and prohibiting modifications. They allow creators to choose how much control to retain over their works while enabling greater access and sharing.
The document discusses Creative Commons' (CC) role in several areas including licenses, technology, guidelines and standards. It also addresses CC's interactions with open data and government licenses as well as collaborations with W3C and international projects. Finally, it examines CC guides on open government and procurement, tools for data tracking, and questions around a potential public data corporation and exploitation models for open data.
Succeeding with DoL C3T Grant Program: Support for Successful ApplicationsCreative Commons
The document discusses the use of Creative Commons licensing for works created with support from Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grants. It recommends using a CC BY license, which requires attribution but allows others to reuse and modify the works. The goals are to facilitate open sharing, discovery, accessibility, customization and improvement of open educational resources through multiple feedback loops and collaboration between grant recipients and learning scientists.
The document summarizes updates from the Creative Commons organization, including updates to their CC 4.0 license and best practices for open licensing. It discusses Creative Commons' work on text and data mining in relation to licensing, promoting open science, and their Open Policy Network and Institute for Open Leadership, which aims to train new leaders in open practices and policies.

This is presentation given at the 2014 SPARC Open Access meeting in Kansas City, MO on March 3, 2014. The presentation was given by Timothy Vollmer from Creative Commons as a part of a panel on policy & advocacy.
This document discusses the benefits of openness and sharing, including having over 100 affiliates reducing friction, transaction costs, and redundancy across over 70 jurisdictions through a dynamic and scalable system. It cites musician Jonathan Coulton saying having a Creative Commons license for all his music helped increase his traffic, donations, sales, and fans more than locking up his music would have. It also lists upcoming launch events in several cities worldwide for http://thepowerofopen.org to discuss these topics.
Creative Commons was founded in 2001 to develop legal tools that enable sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge. Their main solution is a set of copyright licenses that allow creators to select which rights they wish to reserve and which permissions they want to grant, providing a standardized way to give broad permissions for others to legally share, use, and build upon creative works. The licenses address the problems with traditional "all rights reserved" copyright that makes sharing and collaboration online difficult, by offering creators an alternative of "some rights reserved" and lowering transaction costs for the public seeking to make use of licensed works.

Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization that develops standardized copyright licenses to make it easier for creators to share their work while still retaining some rights. CC licenses allow creators to choose how much or how little protection they want, such as allowing only non-commercial sharing or requiring attribution. CC licenses are used globally across many domains including culture, science, government, and education to maximize access to and sharing of creative works.
Fortis, Inc. - A Case Study in Business EthicsAndreaNowack
The Board of Directors meeting discussed building the Chalillo Dam in Belize and the issues surrounding that decision. They reviewed Fortis' goals of providing customers with quality service while delivering earnings to shareholders. They analyzed the financial benefits of the dam but also considered ethical frameworks and stakeholders' concerns regarding environmental and community impacts. The Board evaluated alternatives on their long-term economic, social, environmental and legal impacts to determine the best path forward.
Timothy Vollmer's keynote at CityCamp Oaklandopenoakland
This document discusses legal standards for open data and how cities approach licensing open data. It recommends that cities adopt clear legal standards by publishing data with open licenses like CC0 that impose minimal restrictions to maximize reuse. Clear legal standards ensure efficient reuse of data without needing permission and can spur economic activity and innovation through unexpected uses of the data. While some cities use standard open licenses, others use custom licenses or terms of use, with standard licenses being most progressive as they impose the fewest restrictions.
Legal interoperability of open government data is challenged by different licensing schemes that limit mixing of data from multiple sources. The document discusses this issue, outlines various open data licenses (e.g. Creative Commons, Open Data Commons), and notes implications for license stewards and users. Universal "donor" licenses like CC0 and PDDL enable full interoperability, while BY and SA licenses provide varying levels of interoperability depending on attribution and derivative work requirements.
Open Data Institute Course - Open Data in a Day conducted by Registered ODI Trainer Ian Henshaw on October 14, 2015 in RTP, NC USA - Deck #2 to Open Data Licensing, Law and Best Practice
Open licensing workshop at OGP Civil Society DayCreative Commons
This document discusses the importance of open licensing for open government initiatives. It argues that open licensing provides legal clarity, prevents chilling effects, and maximizes reuse of government information. It describes how Creative Commons licenses work by allowing copyright holders to choose which rights to reserve and which to grant. The document recommends using CC0 to waive copyright and the Open Definition as a baseline for open licenses. The goal is to establish consistent, interoperable licensing that minimizes restrictions and maximizes reuse of government information.
Data challenges are halting AI projects for multiple reasons, and open source developers are looking for solutions. Do you know how to share data sets properly? Just like software, you don't want to put your data sets out in the public domain without proper license protections. The Community Data License Agreement (CDLA) is a key part of the answer.
About 80% of the work with an AI project is collecting and preparing data. Are you having challenges with 'data sprawl' across your company? How about GDPR compliance? An open metadata strategy can help. Open source project Egeria provides the open metadata and governance type system, frameworks, APIs, event payloads and interchange protocols to enable tools, engines and platforms to exchange metadata. Leading project community members bring experience from their roles at HortonWorks, IBM, Index Analytics, ING, SAS, and others.
Jordan Hatcher gave a presentation on open licensing and public sector information (PSI). He discussed the work of the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) in promoting open standards and developing open infrastructure tools. He explained OKF's focus areas including PSI, public domain works, and events/workshops. Hatcher also described the Open Data Commons which provides legal tools for open data licensing, including establishing boundaries, preferred license types, and ease of use for licensors and licensees.
This document discusses the RECODE project which aims to provide policy recommendations for open access to research data in Europe. It focuses on work package 3 which examines the legal and ethical issues around open data licensing. The benefits of open data include furthering research and innovation, but there are also challenges to address like intellectual property concerns, data protection laws, and differences in disciplinary standards. Interviews with case study representatives and legal/policy experts are being conducted to identify barriers and good practices regarding open data licensing and access. Recommendations will focus on exploring licensing solutions, technical or institutional remedies to legal problems, and clarifying what types of data can and cannot be openly shared.

A peek into open hardware: Motivations, Licensing, and EcosystemTomoaki Watanabe
The document discusses open hardware licensing and ecosystems. It notes that some hardware startups and creators are interested in or committed to open licensing. Motivations for open licensing include positive branding, network effects from larger install bases, and greater impact. However, concerns include the difficulty of accessing patented parts and materials affordably as well as liability issues from selling physical products. The document considers different business models and the implications for open source licenses in hardware.
The document summarizes the DALICC (Data Licenses Clearance Center) project. The project aims to develop a software framework that reduces the costs of clearing licenses for derivative works by providing tools to choose licenses, check compatibility, and resolve conflicts. It will represent licenses in RDF and use rules and semantics to reason about licenses and detect inconsistencies. The framework will include components for composing, annotating, and negotiating licenses through a license library and API. The goal is to increase productivity and reuse of data by easing license clearance.
Open Source Hardware and Developments in Creative Commons Licenses, Compatibi...Mike Linksvayer
This document summarizes Mike Linksvayer's presentation on developments in Creative Commons licenses and their relevance to open source hardware. Some key points:
- CC BY-SA 4.0 and CC BY 4.0 licenses have improvements that make them more globally applicable and easier to understand and comply with.
- CC BY-SA 4.0 is now bilaterally compatible with the Free Art License, allowing works to be adapted between the two licenses.
- The CC BY-SA 4.0 and CC BY 4.0 licenses explicitly exclude patents from the license, avoiding potential confusion.
- Open source hardware projects seeking patent collaboration could explore licenses that include patent grants, like GPLv3, or
This document summarizes a presentation on license interoperability for public sector information (PSI) reuse. It discusses how open source software and open content have progressed toward interoperable licensing over the past 25+ years, but challenges remain including incompatible copyleft licenses and a proliferation of custom licenses. Key initiatives like Creative Commons and Open Knowledge Foundation are working to address these issues and promote consensus licensing principles that only include open terms to facilitate greater interoperability and reuse of PSI. Upcoming milestones that could impact licensing include events focused on the EU's digital agenda and open knowledge.

The document summarizes Diane Peters' presentation on the development of CC0 at a CC meeting in Sapporo, Japan. It discusses CC's previous attempts at a public domain dedication tool and the design principles for CC0. It outlines feedback received on drafts of CC0, including issues around waiver language, third party rights, and signature requirements. Solutions to some of the issues are proposed, and next steps are discussed around resolving remaining issues, implementation, and promotion of CC0.
The document discusses openness in scholarly publishing and teaching materials. It introduces Creative Commons, a nonprofit that provides free copyright licenses to allow sharing and reuse of creative works. There are 6 main Creative Commons licenses that combine elements of attribution, sharealike, noncommercial, and noderivatives. Open access publishing and open educational resources are also covered, with the goals of making research and educational content freely available online under open licenses. Examples of open access repositories and journals as well as open educational resources are provided. The document encourages using open licensing to increase access, collaboration, and impact of scholarly and educational works.
Introduction to the open policy network and institute for open leadershipCreative Commons
The document proposes establishing an Institute for Open Leadership to train emerging leaders in open licensing, policies, and practices. The institute would host a week-long intensive training program for 20 participants each year, connecting them with experts in open fields. Participants would develop capstone projects applying what they learned to make materials openly available at their own institutions. The goal is to foster a new generation of leaders who promote open policies and practices.
This document discusses the history and future of open educational resources (OER). It provides a timeline of major developments in OER from 1998 to the present. These developments include the introduction of the term "open content" in 1998 and the launch of initiatives like MIT OpenCourseWare in 2002. The document also outlines major issues for OER going forward, such as search and discovery, quality versus cost, and incentives for teachers. It describes the Creative Commons licensing system for OER, including the options for conditions like attribution and restrictions on commercial use or modifications.
Creative Commons Law and the GeoWeb presentationCreative Commons
1) Creative Commons licenses can be used for open geodata and databases as copyright law treats data and content similarly.
2) Good design principles are important for open data, and Creative Commons licenses keep things simple without imposing extra restrictions.
3) Creative Commons is beginning the process for a new version 4.0 license and is seeking feedback from the open geodata community on issues like non-copyright database rights and growing an interoperable open data commons.
Casserly guest lecture for MIT Open Education class (March 10, 2011)Creative Commons
Creative Commons licenses provide a standardized way for creators to grant copyright permissions for their work. They offer several conditions like attribution, non-commercial use, no derivatives, or share alike. Creative Commons has had a major impact on open education by improving search, discovery, translations, customization and affordability of open educational resources through its use of standardized licenses across over 55 jurisdictions. Over 365 million items are now licensed under Creative Commons, including over 175 million photos on Flickr alone.
This report provides an interim summary of research findings about content creators in the United States. It finds that most creators are amateurs and few have legal training. Photos are the most common type of work created and shared online. While over 80% of creators share their works online, frequency of sharing varies by content type, with games and podcasts being shared most often. The report profiles creator demographics, content types, and sharing behaviors to understand commercial and noncommercial use of copyrighted materials.

12. Creative Commons and open data[bases]
● Develops, supports, stewards legal and tech
infrastructure for sharing on web
● 2010: 400M
● includes licensing and PD solutions for data[bases]
● people have licensed data[bases] under CC since
2001
13.
14. Why the extra care about data[bases] now?
● explosion in data sharing; if permitted uses not clear,
chaos rules
● in general increasing adoption of licensing solutions for
data[bases]
○ CC licenses, CC0, PDDL, ODC-BY, ODbL
● primary threat = not sharing/proprietary data
● what should CC's role be? shift from tool supplier to
commons steward
● if yes, put global scalability, interoperability, standards at
front
15. Ongoing interoperability challenges
● incompatible open licenses (copyleft mostly)
● proliferation of semi-custom terms
● use of non-open public licenses (NC, ND)
● no licensing, ad hoc sharing, no sharing
...and related
● CC licenses inadequately address sui generis
database rights; thus entered ODC, OGL, etc.
● communications/perception problem that CC not
appropriate for data
● many agree: publicly funded science should be PD
16. CC license version 4.0
● process starting soon; need your help
● will address big and small; "future proof" the
licenses
● top of interoperability "fix list" is sui generis db rights
handling
● licensing db rights, like copyright, to extent applies--
this is one option, and needs extreme care
● many CC affiliate stakeholders
● Warsaw Sept 2011 = CC Global Summit
