The Minister of State Services has released the New Zealand Government Open Access Licensing framework (NZGOAL).
The NZGOAL framework, Cabinet Paper, Cabinet Minute and FAQs are published online at:
NZGOAL is an open access and open licensing framework that promotes the release for re-use of non-personal copyright works and non-copyright material held by State Services agencies. It is widely recognised that re-use of this material by individuals and organisations may have significant creative and economic benefit for New Zealand.
NZGOAL establishes a standardised approach for State Services agencies to apply when releasing their material for re-use. It:
- provides a series of open licensing and open access principles for copyright works and non-copyright material;
- promotes the release of copyright works for re-use using the most open Creative Commons licence, and non-copyright material for re-use using 'no known rights' statements; and
- guides agencies through the questions they need to consider before releasing material for re-use.
