Ford Foundation Expands Creative Commons Licensing for All Grant-Funded Projects

(New York) – The Ford Foundation announced today that it is adopting
an open licensing policy for all grant-funded projects and research to
promote greater transparency and accessibility of materials. Effective
February 1, grantees and consultants will be required to make
foundation-funded materials subject to a Creative Commons license
allowing others, free of charge and without requesting permission, the
ability to copy, redistribute, and adapt existing materials, provided
they give appropriate credit to the original author.
