They are often not aware of what the terms of the licenses mean in practice. Therefore, they choose the least permissive license because it feels most comfortable. We try to change their way of thinking by informing them about what the conditions may mean in practice. Instead of blindly choosing the most restrictive license, we recommend that they start from the most permissive license and only add restrictive conditions if they can explain why they are needed. We emphasize the pros and cons of the conditions of the licenses, and what implications they can have for dissemination of research results. We try to appeal to the researchers and attract their attention by using the approach “what’s in it for me?”. (Less)
