A special note of caution: undesirable consequences of choosing restrictive CC licenses for your publication | Open access | University of Groningen Library | University of Groningen

"When selecting a license with a Non Commercial (NC) and/or Non Derivative (ND) restriction, authors often transfer the exclusive right to manage the license to their publisher. This is stated in the “License to Publish agreement”, although it is usually not clearly communicated to authors. Large commercial publishers require authors to transfer the license ownership to the publisher. See an overview of publishers’ policies on this.

When a license with an NC and/or ND restriction is used, the right to manage the license includes the right to reuse the publication either commercially or in adapted form (e.g. a translation) and grant third parties the right to do so. Since the right to manage the license has been transferred to the publisher, the publisher need not and will not consult the author(s) on these matters. Publishers can authorize commercial reuse at their sole discretion and charge third parties for permission to reuse, redistribute, adapt, and/or make the work further known. In this way, the right to commercially reuse a publication or make adaptations becomes an extra revenue stream for publishers. This is contrary to the common assumption that the authors, as copyright owners, will retain these rights.
