 **Laws, policies, and administrative documents in official languages** generally should not be, although the translations might be. International conventions and policies are generally not copyrighted. If republishing these types of documents on Open Development, copyright should be presumed no.
-For the purposes of **other products** not created by Open Development that are being made available on the Open Development platforms, such as reports, news articles, or policy briefs, **copyright should be presumed "yes"** unless it specifically states otherwise. To find information on copyright, you may need to review the website, the documents themselves, and any documentation titled "terms of use", "disclaimer", "legal", and other similar documents. There may also be relevant copyright and intellectual property laws in your jurisdiction that you can review if you want a better general understanding of how copyright works in your jurisdiction.

 If all of the above have been reviewed, including laws, and it is still unclear as to whether a document has copyright or not, "unclear copyright" can be selected. However, this circumstance is unlikely to arise frequently.
-There is an option to select "to be determined". This option should only be selected if the copyright details of the dataset are still being determined. This option allows other uploaders to know that more work is going to be done on this dataset and that it should not yet be published and made public. Datasets where "to be determined" has been selected will not be made public until this option has been changed.

+Choose the correct option based on the below sections. Please log an issue on GitHub if the document you are uploading specifies a license that is not covered by these options.
 ====Licensing of products created by Open Development====
+All datasets and data products created by Open Development are licensed under a [[https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License]].
 ====Licensing of products not created by Open Development====
+Not all products will have licensing specified. The presumption for all products not created by Open Development is that there is no license unless specified. If licensing information cannot be found, then it should be assumed that this document does not have a specified license, and this option should be chosen on CKAN.
+A product may be copyrighted, with all rights reserved, and no licensing information provided. In this case, this document is not shareable on CKAN.
+A product may be copyrighted, with all rights reserved, with no licensing information provided, but with rights modified by additional access and use constraints, terms of use, or other similar documentation. You will need to check the document or the main website for this information. If no licensing information has been provided, but the document is permitted to be reused and republished if certain requirements are followed, then choose the option of "no license specified" on CKAN, and indicate the access and use constraints in the relevant CKAN metadata field. For archived webpages, refer the user back to the original webpage to see access and use constraints and provide the original URL.
 =====Citation=====
+Citing references used is good research practice. It is also referred to as "attribution" and is part of an open, transparent approach. In some cases, it is also required by a particular license, term of use, or access and use constraint. Different licenses and requirements may have a particular preferred way of citation. However, even if a "preferred" form is proposed by a product/producer, it is not always required and it is usually sufficient to use the OD preferred form, which is discussed [[editorial_style|here]].
