Dear all
The National Lottery Heritage Fund has today announced a significant policy change https://www.heritagefund.org.uk/stories/advice-understanding-our-licence-requirement, with a new requirement for grant recipients to release the digital outputs of funded projects under a CC-BY 4.0 licence. This includes images, research, educational materials, project reports, software, web and app content, databases, 3D models, sound and video recordings.
I know that a number of people on and off this list have been involved in advocating to NLHF (previously HLF) for this change over a period of years. I was very pleased to have been part of the licensing review advisory group that helped to shape the new policy, which has been steered and nurtured to fruition by Josie Fraser - Head of Digital Policy at NLHF and of course the former Chair of Trustees at Wikimedia UK.
All best Lucy
