Grundlagen für die Entwicklung einer Open Scholarship-Strategie

Flavours of Open

::: {.grav-editor-preview .is-active}
The year 2019 has not been kind to the Open Content community,
particularly for those wanting to use CC0-/public domain-licensed images
for remixing in presentations, websites, etc.

Many of the major platforms that have grown a reputation of making open,
CC0-licensed images available for everyone decided to take a step back
and introduce tailored licenses that would explicitly forbid the
large-scale copying of content from their respective servers (a strategy
that has led to the establishmend of "copycat platforms" such as Pexels,
which mainly served content that had been copied from e.g. Pixabay and
Gratisography, and which now has also introduced its own license).

Now you might ask what's the fuzz about this?

All in all, it's about clarity -- with universal CC0 attribution, people
knew what they were using, and image creators had a way of making sure
that re-use was allowed no matter what -- making an image available via
CC0 meant that the author/copyright holder agrees with others using this
work in any way, be it commercially or not, and allowing alterations
without the need of attribution (altough many of course appreciate it 😉
).

With the rise of platform-specific licensing, this universal intention
has now been subverted -- see e.g.
[irights.info](https://irights.info/artikel/pixabay-wechselt-von-creative-commons-freigabe-zu-selbstgestrickter-lizenz/29410)
for a detailed discussion of Pixabay's choice of a new license (in
German)). For programmers, and with them theme developers in particular,
this has further implications, as pixelrockstar notes, quoting Carolina
Nymark: "Long story short, under the new Pixabay License the photos will
not be GPL compatible".

But fear not, there are still a variety of options that can help you
find image material that is licensed under Creative Commons Zero, thus
allowing re-use for any open content whatsoever.

### First stop

- [Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) --
  features CC0 & public domain as well as other variations of
  open-licensed images
- [Flickr Commons](https://www.flickr.com/commons/) -- public domain
- The [Openverse](https://openverse.org/) -- a meta search engine
  specialising on images published under a Creative Commons license or
  in the public domain.

### Here's a list of platforms that feature **CC0-licensed** public domain images in 2019

- [stocksnap.io](https://stocksnap.io/) -- photos
- [freestocks.org](https://freestocks.org/) -- photos
- plixs -- photos
- [picography.co](https://picography.co/) -- photos
- [mmtstock](https://mmtstock.com/){.broken_link} -- photos, videos &
  templates
- [skitterphoto](https://skitterphoto.com/) -- photos
- [New Old Photos](https://nos.twnsnd.co/) -- curated collections
  sourced from Flickr Commons
- [Jay Mantri](https://jaymantri.com/) -- seven new pics each Thursday,
  all CC0

#### special cases

- [pikwizard](https://pikwizard.com/) -- although the platform itself
  doesn't openly advertise CC0 images, many of the images on offer are
  then licensed as CC0
- [RawPixel](https://www.rawpixel.com/category/53/public-domain) -- not
  all images on the platform are public domain, but a distinct category
  allows browsing through the PD offers they have

#### Free, but **non-CC0 / non-Public Domain** platforms {#free-but-non-cc0-non-public-domain-platforms}

still [the usual](https://learn.g2.com/free-stock-photos), including...

- [Unsplash](http://unsplash.com/)
- Pexels
- Pixabay
- [Kaboompics](https://kaboompics.com/)
- [Burst](https://burst.shopify.com/)
- [Reshot](https://www.reshot.com/)
- [Gratisography](https://gratisography.com/)
- [freepik](https://www.freepik.com) -- vector images
- [vecteezy](https://www.vecteezy.com/) -- vector images
- [flaticon](https://www.flaticon.com/) -- vector icons
- [freevectors](https://www.freevectors.net/) -- vector images
- [svgrepo](https://www.svgrepo.com/) -- tons of SVG icons & vector
  graphics

### Open Scholarship (my preferred definition)

[Open Scholarship](https://doi.org/10.32388/282729) as a paradigm
consists of three dimensions:

1.  **Open output**, comprising specific content / products from the
    fields of open publishing, open data, open source, open education,
    open access, and similar open movements.
2.  **Open practices**, describing how those working in and with
    academia search and find, (co-)create and disseminate the elements
    of 1), such as e.g. open science practices for research-focused
    activities; open teaching and learning in its many facets including
    open educational practices and open pedagogy; citizen science;
    scholarly communication, outreach and collaboration.
3.  **Open networked participation**, as a set of underlying practices
    that frame scholars' and other inolved parties' uses of digital
    technologies and that are informed by certain grounding assumptions
    and values regarding accessibility, democratization, justice and the
    assertion of fundamental human rights via the spread of equitable
    knowledge along its life-cycle of creation, dissemination and re-use
    along. Open networked participation is a process happening under
    constant negotiation of one's and others' personal, institutional,
    legal, and other social factors and resulting boundaries.
