So far, all resources in CORE-Materials have been released under Creative Commons licenses. However it has become apparent these licenses are insufficient when dealing with source code for software.
The Creative Commons website FAQ advises against their licenses for software and instead points to the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative for appropriate licenses. Licenses at these websites apply limitations as to how source code is used, redistributed and improved, it cannot be relicensed under a more restrictive license.
