Ecolonical Open Knowledge License (EOKL Lite 1.0) – Summary

The Ecolonical Open Knowledge License (EOKL Lite 1.0) establishes a legal framework that facilitates fair governance of open knowledge in digital environments. Its design balances protection against unauthorized appropriation with accessibility, eliminating reliance on advanced technological infrastructures such as blockchain or smart contracts. This streamlined approach makes it particularly suitable for adoption in scientific, educational, and regulatory contexts, promoting broader knowledge dissemination without significant technological barriers.

Scope and Key Protections

As an extension of this version, EOKL 1.0 expands its scope to address emerging challenges in open knowledge governance, particularly concerning advanced technologies such as:

• Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
• Quantum computing
• Synthetic biology
• Bioengineering
• Large-scale genetic editing of digitized sequences
• Institutional capture

Its goal is to establish clear provisions to prevent the monopolization of open data, the misuse of biological and cultural information, and the unauthorized exploitation of genetic sequences for commercial purposes.

Safeguards Against AI and Proprietary Models

EOKL Lite 1.0 introduces safeguards against unrestricted use of content in AI training, data mining, and proprietary models, ensuring proper attribution and benefit-sharing mechanisms. Its interoperable approach with recognized open-access licenses, such as:

• Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0
• Open Data Commons
• GNU GPL

Enables a structured transition to EOKL 1.0 in cases requiring decentralized governance and cryptographic validation.

Ethical and Responsible Digital Knowledge Management

Ultimately, EOKL Lite 1.0 is not only a legal and technological solution for open knowledge protection but also a proactive model to mitigate uncontrolled information extraction and foster a more ethical and responsible approach to digital knowledge management.
