Korea Open Government License (KOGL, Korean: 공공누리; RR: gong-gong nuri) is one of the Government of South Korea's copyright licenses that allows the distribution of copyrighted materials.
Before this system, there was no standard system that determined the copyright of public records. Instead, users were required to obtain permission for use by inquiry. The license was developed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to simplify this process.[1]
Types
The license scheme is similar in concept to the Creative Commons licenses. KOGL has six types, including an additional condition for AI training.[2] Type 0 and Type 1 are compatible with the open definition.[a] In all cases, users must indicate the source and license of the work, and obey any additional restrictions imposed by the type of license.[1]
| Type | Icon | Attribution required | Commercial use | Distribution of derived works | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | No | permitted | permitted | ||
| 1 | Yes | permitted | permitted | ||
| 2 | Yes | not permitted | permitted | ||
| 3 | Yes | permitted | not permitted | ||
| 4 | Yes | not permitted | not permitted | ||
| AI | No | permitted | permitted | Used in conjunction with Type 1–4. Restricted to AI training only. |
When English labels for the three symbols (all present in type 4) are used, they are "BY", "NC" and "ND" respectively.[1]
