Adding Traditional Knowledge (TK) Labels in addition to CC licensing #337

Open pb-amy opened 3 years ago

pb-amy commented 3 years ago

Feature Description

Internal purposes only: please refer to this ticket

Traditional Knowledge (TK) labels are distinctions for Indigenous knowledge, which is essential for Indigenous content and concepts. TK labels are not equivalent, nor replaceable by Creative Common Licenses. With the importance of protecting Indigenous cultural knowledge in all contexts, especially digital, this would aid OER creation by Indigenous People, and remove a barrier for sharing knowledge.

Information on TK labels can be found on: https://localcontexts.org/labels/traditional-knowledge-labels/. Furthermore, their work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

Feature Use Case

This will be used to license work created by Indigenous Peoples or perhaps, by those citing Indigenous Peoples and their works. This would work alongside CC licenses, and neither would impede on one another.

Other Notes

No other notes.

This would be really helpful in the eCampusOntario context as well +1
