Informed consent in the context of open licensing: some questions for discussion | Sustaining the Knowledge Commons / Soutenir les savoirs communs

The purpose of this post is to encourage sharing of knowledge and ideas on the topic of modifying informed consent when working with human subjects to accommodate open licensing. Examples of questions for discussion: COPE has provided guidance for the protection of journals in the case of one particularly sensitive type of material, medical case reports. Is anyone providing guidance for authors and their institution? What about other types of sensitive material that are common in disciplines such as education, health and social sciences? Has any research ethics board or similar body updated their guidance on informed consent in light of open licensing?
