Making use of open-licensed material (TASL)

When making use of open-licensed materials there are often specific requirements around attribution. Creative Commons suggests using the 'TASL' method - Title, Author, Source, Licence. Note that you will also need to add an additional statement if you make any changes to the material.

Adding your own open licensing

Adding an open licence to your work is easy - identify the type of licence you'd like to use and include the licensing text with the work (e.g., on the verso page of a report, etc.).

It is possible to add multiple licences to a work (e.g., one for images, one for text), but you should make it as clear as possible for the end user to understand, for example:
