The majority of resources on the Launch League website are published under open licence. “Open licence” means that the content has been developed for others to use. (And we really want you to use it!)
The open licence content on this website has been developed under the Creative Commons CC 4.0. This means that you can edit, adapt, rebrand and resell to partners. When you use the content, however, you do need to “attribute” the original authors of the content, and ensure that this does not appear to be an endorsement or sponsorship.
In other words, when you use the Launch League content, you should let all stakeholders (entrepreneurs, partners,
funders) know that the content was originally developed by the UK-South Africa Tech Hub and Viridian, through the Launch League initiative.
However, you must do this in a way that the attribution isn’t confused for an endorsement or sponsorship of your programme or organisation by the UK-South Africa Tech Hub, Viridian or Launch League.
To make this easy for you, you’ll see that in each of the main resources, there’s some text that attributes the original authors – so you can just leave this in!
If you’d like more information on how to use open licence content, or what the appropriate attribution is, please contact us.
In this video, we explain the concept of the Launch League open licence resources- you are free to share, copy, adapt and sell these resources with some conditions which are explained in the video.
There’s a lot of content here for you and your hub, and it can be difficult to know where to start. We’d like to help you make the most of our toolkits and resources, so let us know how we can contact you to assist.
Launch League has created and curated resources that hubs and entrepreneur support organisations can leverage and design to run great programmes that grow their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. Toolkits are designed to be used as a full package, while resource collections are related resources that you can pick and choose from.
Best of all, most of the resources we’ve listed are open licence, so they’re yours to use as you need!
These open licence toolkits have been designed for teams at hubs and skills organisations to train and support entrepreneurs. In each toolkit you’ll find a set of editable resources to download and use within existing programmes or to launch a new offering for entrepreneurs in your community. Each toolkit is designed to be used as a full package, and has been tried and tested by hubs across South Africa and Southern Africa.
