Korea Open Government License (KOGL, {{Korean|hangul=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.{{cite web|url=https://www.mcst.go.kr/kor/s_open/kogl/koglType.jsp?pTab=05|title=Use Terms Guide for Korea Open Government License (KOGL)|publisher=Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism|date=|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230127203147/https://www.mcst.go.kr/kor/s_open/kogl/koglType.jsp?pTab=05|archivedate=27 January 2023|accessdate=9 June 2023|author=}}
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.{{efn|a document published by the Open Knowledge Foundation, summarised as: "Open means anyone can freely access, use, modify, and share for any purpose (subject, at most, to requirements that preserve provenance and openness)"}} In all cases, users must indicate the source and license of the work, and obey any additional restrictions imposed by the type of license.
