The Korea Open Government License (KOGL) is a copyright license introduced by South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. It allows the public to freely use government-created works without needing individual permissions, provided they adhere to specified conditions. citeturn0search0

KOGL offers four distinct license types, each with specific usage rights:

  1. Type 1 (Attribution): Permits both commercial and non-commercial use, including the creation of derivative works, as long as the original source is credited. citeturn0search9

  2. Type 2 (Attribution + Non-Commercial): Allows for non-commercial use and the creation of derivative works, with mandatory source attribution. citeturn0search9

  3. Type 3 (Attribution + No Derivatives): Enables both commercial and non-commercial use without altering the original work, and requires source acknowledgment. citeturn0search9

  4. Type 4 (Attribution + Non-Commercial + No Derivatives): Restricts use to non-commercial purposes without modifications, with mandatory source attribution. citeturn0search9

Each license type mandates that users clearly indicate the source of the work. The KOGL framework aims to promote the utilization of public sector information, fostering transparency and encouraging creative reuse of government-produced content. citeturn0search11
