Hi Rupert
We use Creative Commons, share and share alike, non-commercial for Black Country History website.
I went to a really useful workshop about this the other week run by JISC - perhaps Naomi Korn could share her very useful table on the different open licensing options that she drew up for us at that event??
I would basically say go for the most open licence you can persuade your organisation to accept having worked through what the implications are.

Subject: What licences do you issue your data under?
Dear colleagues
I'm about to run through the options for licensing Horniman Museum data with our Senior Management Team, and I'm trying to pre-empt the inevitable question: what is everyone else doing?
So, please could you tell me what pre-existing licences (CC etc.) you use for data you publish via:
- Your website
- Interoperable data (OAI, APIs, Linked (Open) Data)
And - do you issue all data (metadata, extended content, images/multimedia) under the same licence, or do you use different licences for different data / ways by which the data is accessed?
With thanks and best wishes,
Rupert
