Subject: [ORG-discuss] Open Data Commons draft licence
To: Open Rights Group open discussion list
<org-discuss(a)lists.openrightsgroup.org>
All,
I would like to announce the draft Open Data Commons Database
licence. This is the new name, face, and text of the Talis Community
Licence update that I may have mentioned in an earlier email. A
special thanks to Talis for sponsoring the update.
It is an attempt at a worldwide licence for data. In Creative
Commons terms it is an SA licence.
The blog post announcing its release is here:

now-out/
Or try:

The homepage on my site for information related to the licence is here:

The draft text of the licence itself is located here:
http://www.opencontentlawyer.com/open-data/open-database-licence/
Because we separated out the Data from the Database in the licensing,
a supplemental BSD/MIT style licence for the data, intended for
factual information rather than other "contents of databases" is here:

info-licence/
Finally, though I suspect that we will have a lot to talk about on
this list, I've set up a discuss list specifically for the licence here:

Thanks!
