Abstract:	The principle that research output should be open has, in recent years, been increasingly applied to data and software. Licensing is a key aspect to openness. Navigating the landscape of open source licenses can lead to complex discussions. During ADASS XXIX in 2019 it became clear that several groups worldwide are working on formalising the licensing of software and other digital assets. In this article, we summarise a discussion we had at ADASS XXX on the application of licenses to astronomical scientific software, and summarise the questionnaire we distributed in preparation. We conclude that this topic is considered relevant and interesting by many members of our community, and that it should be pursued further.
