I desember 2008 ble det publisert en rapport i Nederland hvor det kommer anbefalinger om en svært liberal tilnærming til deling av forskning og pedagogisk materiale. Nå er rapporten tigjengelig på engelsk.
I rapporten står det at:
“SURFdirect has indicated that the choice of licence must not create barriers to the future use of educational and research material. The licence should be applicable at both research universities and universities of applied sciences [hogescholen], and that this can in fact be done in 80% of cases. The report recommends using the most liberal Creative Commons licence for textual output:
On the basis of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Netherlands Licence, users of the licensed work are permitted to copy it, distribute it, and pass it on, and produce derivative works and distribute them on condition that the work is attributed to its author. This licence freely permits commercial use and derivative works as long as users comply with the requirements regarding attribution. These comprise not only giving the name of the author but also the obligation to clearly designate derivative works as such.”
