Background: NORDUnet intends reports, presentation, and documentation to be shared and distributed to a wide readership. NORDUnet also want to enable reuse of ideas, figure, presentations, etc. However, for some documents, say documents about NORDUnet policy, NORDUnet requires a "no change" policy. NORDUnet finds the CC licenses ideal for this purpose, as the licenses are gaining recognition in the community and have been developed by legal experts.
