I'd like to call your attention to a recent report published by the RDA-CODATA Legal Interoperability Interest Group, which discusses many of these issues and recommends CC0 or PDDL, but also recognizes that these may not be appropriate in all cases and that CC-BY is an option in some situations: LEGAL INTEROPERABILITY OF RESEARCH DATA: PRINCIPLES AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES https://zenodo.org/record/162241#.WHPjWn39k7s See in particular the text supporting Guideline 1C starting on page 10. The Legal Interoperability Interest Group will be meeting at the next Research Data Alliance Plenary in Barcelona in April...we encourage you to participate if interested! We will be discussing plans for follow-on activities regarding the Principles and Guidelines, including additional outreach and sector-specific implementation efforts. Cheers, Bob ***** Dr. Robert S.
