• The new licences
• JorumOpen
• for content whose creators and owners are willing
  and able to share their content on a worldwide
  basis, under the terms of a Creative Commons (CC)
  licence
• JorumEducationUK
• for content whose creators and owners prefer to,
  and are able to, share their resources with the
  UK education sector (with initial focus on the UK
  HE, FE, and research sectors), under a licence
  based on the CC BY-NC-SA licence
• JorumPlus
• for content with more restricted terms and
  conditions (as may be required by third-party
  rights holders/licensors), and maybe therefore
  requiring an institutional-level licence for
  access. In the first instance this will include
  materials deposited into Jorum
