Recommended data license for MBON affiliated datasets mobilized to OBIS-USA #34
Comments
@laurabrenskelle Do you know what NCEI's recommendations are w.r.t. data licensing? I think OBIS-USA can allow for more strict licensing which NCEI will not accept. We should be advising on the license that allows data to go through OBIS-USA to NCEI. |
"I think OBIS-USA can allow for more strict licensing which NCEI will not accept." Yes this is the case. The licenses a data provider can choose are CC-0, CC-BY, and CC-BY-NC. NCEI will accept CC-0 and CC-BY but not CC-BY-NC so those datasets do not get archived at NCEI. Also worth noting that last I understood data with a CC-BY-NC license was not included in the GBIF cloud exports and so is not available to people who want to access the data via AWS or other cloud instances. |
We should provide a recommendation for which license to select.
Highly recommend
