-'''Please specify the license adopted. How is the license applied? Can you provide any available statistics? What has been the author or organization's experience with Creative Commons licenses so far – what have been the benefits and lessons learned?'''
+LeMill resources are licensed under [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ CC Attribution-ShareAlike]. Media pieces reused as part of larger resources may also be licensed under other, more permissive licenses. An open license is a core requirement for the wiki-like editing of LeMill to be legally possible. Convincing national ministries of education on the benefits of open licenses has been a challenge.
 == Motivations ==
-'''How did the author or organization first hear about Creative Commons? Why did they choose to license under Creative Commons? Which license did they select and why? Any other issues you may have come across/comments you’d like to make.'''
+LeMill was designed by the researches of the Learning Environments research group. They have been long proponents of web technologies and free education. All the software the team has made has been published under an OSI approved open source license. In 2006, Creative Commons was already the de facto standard for open content, so it was a natural choice. The selection of CC BY-SA was a clear decision, as the problems related to the NC clause were clear, and the wiki-like editing of LeMill would not work with the ND clause.
 == Technical Details ==
-'''Provide any technical details of the implementation here'''
+LeMill is implemented as a Zope product, and is an open source software project published under the GPL.
