| The WHO addendum for the Creative Commons licences for publication has been modified to permit the terms of the applicable Creative Commons 3.0 IGO Licence. This licence type grants the same re-use conditions as a standard CC-BY licence with the additional condition that when the Licensor is an intergovernmental organization (in this case the WHO), any disputes will be resolved by mediation and arbitration unless otherwise agreed. Further information on the conditions and benefits of an IGO licence can be found here. |
