Selecting an open license: Options when opening your publications and data

Poster created for Love Data Week 2024, updated for Open Access Week 2025. "To be considered “open”, publications, data, and software should clearly state how they can be used and shared by others. In most cases, Creative Commons licenses are used because they are simple and widely known, but the legal language of the similar Open Data Commons licenses can be considered more relevant for datasets, and other licenses such as MIT and GPL are more appropriate for software and code."
