The Edges of Licensing ATTRIBUTION AND LICENSE TO PUBLISH AGREEMENTS

The point of Open Access is…?

…interoperability.

Licensing is key to this

 Expression of values  Legal consistency

Global usage drives interop

Licensing is key to this  Expression of values  Legal consistency Attribution is a core value of our community

Attribution is a core value… …but an inconsistently expressed one

Community Principles The communities of scholars that have adopted this statement ascribe the following statements of best practice for Attribution where Creative Commons licensed research content has been re-used. 1.We acknowledge the tradition of both freely giving knowledge to our communities, along with the expectation that contributions will be respected and full credit will be given according to scholarly norms. 2.The community expects that where a work is reprinted, collected, aggregated or otherwise re-used substantially that the original source, location and free availability of the original version will be both made explicit and emphasised. 3.The community expects that where modifications have been made to an article this will be made explicit and every practicable effort will be made to make the nature and scope of modifications explicit. Where a derivative is digital all practicable efforts should be made to make comparison with the original version as easy as possible for the user. 4.The community assumes that unless noted otherwise authors have not endorsed any republication or modification of their original work. Where authors have explicitly endorsed the republication or modified version this should be made explicit in a way which is separate to the attribution.

Standard forms of attribution?  Is there a demand for standards?  What problem are we solving?  Is there a need for guidance?  What is the best form for guidance to take?  Who is responsible for enforcement?

Reading by Loïc Alejandro from Noun Project Licensor Author Licensee User CC License License to publish Guidelines?

The License to Publish  Very different across publishers (what rights, what guarantees/services, versions of license etc etc)  Lack of awareness that this document matters (or even exists in some cases)  An area for standardisation or for competition?  Real risks of something going wrong (such as publisher having no standing in dispute) or at the very least confusion about responsibilities

Conclusions  Open Access publishing is about providing interoperability  Licensing is one way of doing this and is a strong part of the argument for CC licenses  At each end of the publishing process we have inconsistencies  We need to work out collectively whether a conversation on standardisation would be helpful and valuable
