Ah yes, Taylor and Francis are a bit awkward to find what license you can use for accepted items.
The closest I could get to was on the author services page
here. Although very thorough in listing the licenses for gold OA there is nothing for green, aside from this:
“Deposit of the AM (after peer review but prior to publisher formatting) in a repository, with non-commercial reuse rights. Embargo
periods run from the date of publication of the final article (Version of Record).”
Personally I take that to mean that you should be using a CC-BY-NC license and that’s what I’ve applied for our items, but that is
more an educated guess than anything else.
Regards,
Luke

Dear Luke,
Thank you for that information. Unfortunately in this case the Publisher, Taylor and Francis, don’t seem to have an explicit policy on licenses on Sherpa/Romeo.
Would anyone have any experience of Taylor and Francis’s policy on licenses they could share?
Regards,
Ashling

Dear Ashling,
This would depend on the publisher, but for the majority of journals they will specify the license type required for accepted manuscripts. For example
most Elsevier journals stipulate that the accepted version must be licensed under CC-BY-NC-ND. The Sherpa/Romeo tool usually has the required information. It’s problematic not to have a license on repository items as it is unclear to users what they can and
cannot do with items from the repository. By default we apply a CC-BY license to all materials in our repository, though in the case of accepted manuscripts where we cannot find licensing information but are allowed to upload them I would tend to be cautious
and apply the most restrictive CC license.
Hope that helps!
Luke

Dear Colleagues,
I’ve been asked an interesting question about licensing in the Repository, particularly
in the case of green open access. We automatically place a Creative Commons license on all items in the repository
An author has queried if he has the right to place that license on his accepted manuscript.
While the Author is permitted by the publisher to deposit their accepted manuscript in the repository he is not clear if he has the right to grant a Creative Commons license to that version of the paper.
Has anyone dealt with the issue before or have any further thoughts on it?
Many thanks
Ashling
