Korea Open Government License (KOGL, Korean: 공공누리; RR: gong-gong nuri) is one of the Government of South Korea's copyright licenses that allows the distribution of copyrighted materials.

Before this system, there was no standard system that determined the copyright of public records. Instead, users were required to obtain permission for use by inquiry. The license was developed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to simplify this process.[1]

Types

The license scheme is similar in concept to the Creative Commons licenses. KOGL has four types. Only the first type is compatible with the open definition.[lower-alpha 1] In all cases, users must indicate the source and license of the work, and obey any additional restrictions imposed by the type of license.[1]

Korea Open Government License Types[1]
Type	Commercial use	Distribution of derived works
1	permitted	permitted
2	not permitted	permitted
3	permitted	not permitted
4	not permitted	not permitted

When English labels for the three symbols (all present in type 4) are used, they are "BY", "NC" and "ND" respectively.[1]
