Proper reuse of digital objects requires a human and machine-readable licence. Well documented legal interoperability is a prerequisite for automatic distributed search, and the use of both the semantic artefacts and their component terms/concepts/classes and relations.
Although we are encouraging Open licences, preferably using Creative Commons 4.0 licencing, this recommendation doesn’t impact the choice but emphasizes the need for adding this information explicitly for both human and machine to avoid ambiguities on the conditions for reuse. See BP-Rec. 12 for more information.
