Data licencing: Data provided to ICES without an acceptable license #513

Aspect	Description
Challenges	Data providers to the ICES datacentre can use any existing data licence on their data, which may lead to discrepancies either way: data submitting organisations have more limitations than the ICES data license (may lead to not submitting data), or the data submitting organization uses a more open license, causing more limitations by ICES than originally envisaged by the submitting organization.
Mitigating strategies and controls	Standard set of licences makes it easier for data submitters to know what to expect when submitting data to ICES https://www.ices.dk/data/guidelines-and-policy/Pages/ICES-data-policy.aspx

Likelihood: 2. There are already examples of this happening, although they constitute a minority of the volume of data submitted to ICES. An example is data being submitted under a CC-0 license which ICES then share under the more restrictive CC-BY license. Examples of data being used in ICES advice products without having a clear license have also been identified through the use of the Data Profiling Tool.

Impact: 2. If data is provided under an unsuitable license then ultimately it might mean that ICES cannot use or share it.
