Licensing knowledge products: Supporting Open Science and FAIR Principles

This presentation explored the role of licensing in supporting Open Science and the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. It explained how licenses provide clear legal permissions for the reuse, sharing, and adaptation of knowledge products, reducing uncertainty and enhancing their reusability. The session introduced Creative Commons licenses and discussed key factors to consider when selecting an appropriate license, including ownership, third-party rights, privacy considerations, and intended reuse objectives.
