The jargon meaning of "protocol" is "a process that you follow". In this
case, to make data "Open Access" (which would make it a "standard"
protocol). Applying a particular license (or member of a set of
licenses) would be one step in that protocol.
There are apparently other things that must be done as well.
Cheers,
Terry
