The research community embraces the open science paradigm. What started out as a movement focused on open access has become a much wider endeavor with open access to research data as a major challenge. Making data open and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) is the new mantra. It can only be realized with suitable legal tools. The existing CC license suit can in principle be used for data. However, since a) legal protection for data varies greatly between jurisdictions and b) researchers or research organizations may want to be able to tailor the licenses more to their needs, it may be appropriate inquiring adaptions of the existing CC licenses or creation of additional CC licenses should be considered.
