For example, [Creative Commons](https://creativecommons.org/) licenses like [CC0]() and [CC-BY]() are popular open and understandable licenses. Many pros and cons of each license are laid out in [this discussion](https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/issues/285).\r\n\r\nI think directed discussion may be important to keep people on board and concerned about the issue--while the thread is interesting, I think it may be a bit much for people who are new to thinking about licenses and leading to a sensible default may be valuable."}}
