[okfn-discuss] [OKFN-EN] Software Sustainability Institute workshop on IP, copyright, licensing & commercialisation

[Iain Emsley]

Peter and Sander,

I've managed to have a talk with those concerned at SSI.

>From what I understand, there is a plan to move to a CC BY license next
year. This requires discussion with any authors who may require to publish
under a different licence to ensure that their rights are not infringed.

Kind regards,

Iain
