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.
