Like a software license, a data license governs what someone else can do with data that you create or own and that you make accessible to others through, for example, a data repository. Data licenses vary based on different criteria, such as: attribution to original owner; permission to redistribute or modify original; and, inclusion of the same license with derivatives or redistributions. This cookbook recipe will discuss these topics.
