This guide will enable academics to make informed and purposeful decisions about licensing their work openly. The assumption is that you own the copyright in your
own work, and wish to confer permission for its use. The guide is based on the framework of open content licensing, a legitimate, internationally recognised legal
practice consistent with copyright law. This guide is aimed at the individual academic. While the steps outlined here may be useful for application at a unit or departmental level, if you are starting to grapple with licensing as a collective, it is always important to remember that the creator (the author) is the principal rights holder and, as such, is at the centre of the copyright
framework.
