# Approved Licenses for Digital Public Goods | ||
|
||
Licenses for open source software, open content and open data are vetted and approved by third party organizations, and we rely on their criteria in order to include them in our list of approved licenses. On top of it, we use [SPDX identifiers](https://spdx.org/licenses/) to easily, efficiently and uniquely refer to each license. | ||
|
||
* **Open Content**: you are encouraged to use one of the Creative Commons licenses which allow for both derivatives and commercial reuse: [CC BY](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) or [CC BY-SA](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), or dedicate content to the public domain ([CC0](https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/)). We also accept the following licenses which do not allow for commercial reuse: [CC-BY-NC](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) and [CC-BY-NC-SA](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/). | ||
* **Open Data**: only accepting [conformant licenses](https://opendefinition.org/licenses/) to the Open Definition from the Open Data Commons. | ||
* **Open Source Software**: only accepting [approved licenses](https://opensource.org/licenses) from the Open Source Initiative. | ||

# Excluded nominees | ||
|
||
This folder contains former nominees that have been excluded as we have updated our minimum criteria. Currently these projects would not be eligible to be nominated, but we keep a copy of their past nominations for archival reasons. Should the reason for their exclusion change in the future (like being released under a compliant license), we will easily nominate them again. | ||
|
||
This file lists the excluded projects, the date of exclusion and the reason for exclusion at that date; sorted in reverse chronological order first, and alphabetically second. | ||
|
||
**⚠️ We do not accept new projects that do not meet the minimum criteria. ⚠️** | ||
