- [Mattering Press](https://www.matteringpress.org/) allows authors to choose the license they wish, but our recommended license is CC BY-NC-SA, as a way of guarding against the commercial exploitation of Open Access content ([Business Models for OA Books](https://toolkit.openbookcollective.org/books/02-key-resources-and-sources/page/business-models-for-open-access-books))
- [White Horse Press](https://www.whpress.co.uk/) primarily uses CC-BY NC-ND, which they state is the preference of most of their authors and editors (direct correspondence)
