https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What to Do?.
First:Clearly mark out-of-copyright
works as such.
Second:Use Creative Commons licensing
for works with CC-friendly donors
Third:Works for which institution holds
copyright: use CC licensing
Creative Commons licences allow you to give permission for others to share and reuse your work
Here's the pitch:CC licences are clear, simple, free, legally robust and let you keep your copyright.
