The document discusses open data licensing practices presented at OKCon 2011, emphasizing the need for clear licensing solutions amidst the growing trend of data sharing. It highlights the role of Creative Commons and Open Data Commons in providing various licenses, the challenges of interoperability, and the push for better handling of database rights. The importance of publicly funded science and a call for contributions to improve the licensing framework for future use are also noted.
![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](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/ccokfdatalicensingatokcon1-110701052102-phpapp02/85/OKF-CC-open-data-licensing-presentation-at-OKCon-2011-12-320.jpg)
![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](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/ccokfdatalicensingatokcon1-110701052102-phpapp02/85/OKF-CC-open-data-licensing-presentation-at-OKCon-2011-14-320.jpg)

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

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
