  • A public license or public copyright licenses is a license by which a copyright holder as licensor can grant additional copyright permissions to any and all persons in the general public as licensees.By applying a public license to a work, provided that the licensees obey the terms and conditions of the license, copyright holders give permission for others to copy or change their work in ways that would otherwise infringe copyright law. Some public licenses, such as the GNU GPL and the CC BY-SA, are also considered free or open copyright licenses. However, other public licenses like the CC BY-NC are not open licenses, because they contain restrictions on commercial or other types of use. Public copyright licenses do not limit their licensees. In other words, any person can take advantage of the license. The former Creative Commons (CC) Developing Nations License was not a public copyright license, because it limited licensees to those in developing nations. Current Creative Commons licenses are explicitly identified as public licenses. Any person can apply a CC license to their work, and any person can take advantage of the license to use the licensed work according to the terms and conditions of the relevant license. According to the Open Knowledge Foundation, a public copyright license does not limit licensors either. Under this definition, license contract texts specific to a single licensor (like the UK government’s Open Government License, which would have to be edited to be used by other licensors) are not considered public copyright licenses, although they may qualify as open licenses. Some organisations approve public copyright licenses that meet certain criteria, in particular being free or open licenses. The Free Software Foundation keeps a list of FSF-approved software licenses and free documentation licenses. The Open Source Initiative keeps a similar list of OSI-approved software licenses. The Open Knowledge Foundation has a list of OKFN-approved licenses for content and data licensing. (en)
  • Une licence de libre diffusion (parfois abrégé LLD) ou licence ouverte est une licence s'appliquant à une œuvre de l'esprit par laquelle l'auteur concède certains des droits que lui offre le droit d'auteur quant à l'utilisation, à la modification, à la rediffusion et à la réutilisation de l'œuvre dans des œuvres dérivées. Tout comme les licences libres dont elles dérivent et qu'elles englobent, elles facilitent la prolifération d'une œuvre en autorisant la copie et l'usage sous certaines conditions. Cependant le courant de pensée qui sous-tend les licences libres est animé par une volonté éthique d'égalité. Les licences de libre diffusion ont pour seul fondement de faciliter la diffusion, que ce soit dans une démarche d'équité ou simplement pour populariser une œuvre en limitant les frais publicitaires. On peut compter parmi les licences de libre diffusion les licences Creative Commons. (fr)
