Licensing Policy

All project results are licensed under free licenses, that grant the four freedoms to its users:

  • freedom 0: the freedom to use the work for any purpose;
  • freedom 1: the freedom to study its mechanisms, to be able to modify and adapt it to their own needs;
  • freedom 2: the freedom to make and distribute copies, in whole or in part;
  • freedom 3: the freedom to enhance and/or extend the work and share the result.
The project uses as default license the < href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license (CC BY-SA 4.0), which grants these four freedoms and assures that derivative works are shared under the same conditions. Any other material that is apt for reuse by the project should be under a free license, as listed in < href="http://freedomdefined.org/Licenses">FreedomDefined, or the < href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list">FSF free licenses guide, such as:

Any databases with research data that may be developed during the project will be licensed under a specific open data license such as explained < href="http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/">here. Specific database licenses are needed in Europe, as the European Union has a Database Directive (< href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_Directive">Wikipedia ) which issues additional copyright over databases, unlike in many other jurisdictions. We observe that many consider this an unnecessary enclosure of the public domain.
