Open license refers to a license that respects the intellectual property rights of the
copyright owner and provides permissions granting the public the rights to access, re-use,
re-purpose, adapt and redistribute educational materials. (UNESCO)
An open license acknowledges intellectual property rights and credits your work
In addition, an open license allows you to assign various levels of usage rights and
permissions to reuse the material
By licensing your work with an open license, you contribute to open learning
repositories and increased access to learning for all

(ii) developing supportive policy;
(iii) encouraging inclusive and equitable quality OER;
