I'm just in the middle of answering a query from someone who has a whole bunch of out of copyright stuff that he's interested in making available. Kete is an obvious recommendation. However, popping them in a kete and assigning them a CC license is not ideal. There shouldn't be any requirements assigned because they are out of copyright.
I know that DigitalNZ Kete has the No Known Copyright option. But I had a wee look and it doesn't appear to be in other kete?
Answer from Walter:
Each Kete site can set up custom license options via Administrator's Toolbox -> administer licenses link (bottom of page if logged in with a site admin account).
Virginia set this up for Kete DigitalNZ. I would copy the text from there ( http://kete.digitalnz.org/site/topics/show/22-rights-and-permissions-help ) for the new site. She set up a topic for the license in the site basket, but I would use the About basket (where site policies usually live in Kete sites) for the link to the full license when you create the new license option.
