After you create or re-purpose your OER, it is essential to provide the necessary license to ensure it is OER. If you do not specify any licence, by default, it is treated as having the traditional 'All rights reserved' copyright, which means others will not be able to freely re-use or revise the same.

In case you are creating an OER, as the author you have full freedom to specify an open license. The 'Creative Commons' licenses are popular since they are easy to use and understand.

In case you are '''re-purposing an OER,''' you will need to consider the licenses of the OER you are using as inputs.
# In case you are re-purposing an OER which is released under the CC 0 license, then you can give any license of your choice, it is the same as if you had created the OER all by yourself.
# If you have used an OER which has a CC BY license, then you can then you can give any license of your choice, it is the same as if you had created the OER all by yourself, however, you will need to give credit to the creator of the input OER, in your own OER, basically you will need to 'attribute' credit to the author of the input OER.
# If you have used an OER which has a CC BY SA license, then you will need to release the re-purposed OER also under the same license due to the 'ShareAlike' clause. You will also need to give credit to the creator of the input OER, in your own OER, basically you will need to 'attribute' credit to the author of the input OER.
# In case you are re-purposing OER, using more than one OER as an input resource, then you will need to consider the licenses of all the input OER while chosing the license for your OER. Typically, you will need to go by the most restrictive license clauses. For instance even if one of the OER has a ShareAlike clause, your re-purposed OER will need to have the same clauses as that OER.
