Infographics will be presented which combine the famous spectrum of Creative Commons (CC) licenses from most-free and OER to least-free and not OER with the case of free and open-source (FOSS) licenses for software. The objective is to ensure that those licensing either purely software educational resources or hybrid software/text/other educational resources (like textbooks that are Jupyter notebooks, OER textbooks with embedded H5P, educational simulations) can choose licenses in line with their intentions to be open and inclusive - to make OER. The open education community can use such instructional materials on how to license these hybrid text/code OER works with appropriate non-CC licenses: there is a need since CC has made it clear that their licenses have problematic application to software, which should be therefore licensed under a FOSS license - but many open educators are unsure of what licenses are available and how they would or would not apply to their specific use.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Be able to use the appropriate FOSS license for software that is meant to be an OER.
- Understand the full spectrum of CC licenses, and the augmented spectrum, including public domain tools.
- Use the infographics to help them choose which FOSS and/or CC license or domain tool to use when creating educational software or a hybrid text-software.
