Which license to choose? #66

Closed DrLeturc closed 2 years ago

DrLeturc commented 2 years ago

Everything is in the title.

If we take in example the ontology : https://ns.inria.fr/prissma/v2/prissma_v2.html

They consider the license CC BY 1.0 :

Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially
Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
No additional restrictions — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

What do you think of this one? Do you have any other preferences or ideas about which license to choose?

@DrLeturc @FabienGandon +1 for CC BY.

Why not use the current version 4.0 instead of 1.0? https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Not at all familiar with all the details of the different versions, after a quick look at the wiki the main difference from 1.0 that stands out to me is that in all subsequent versions liability is removed (i.e., the work/content is provided "as is"): https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/License_Versions

DrLeturc commented 2 years ago

I don't see any counter argument against using CC BY 4.0.

We can consider that after the end of the milestone 1, we'll use this license if we do not get any counter argument from other members of the project. We are living in a beautiful democracy inner the HyperAgent project !

+1 for https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

include with dct:license or cc:license (the latter is ok because we choose a CC license

DrLeturc commented 2 years ago

In the ontology we have used dct:license. I would go with the first choice if everyone is okay with that.

FabienGandon commented 2 years ago

I read here: https://creativecommons.org/ns#license

"cc:license (a subproperty of dc:license, the same as xhtml:license)"

I would use cc:license then to have it all.
