[open-government] government data licenses - best practice?

Fri Sep 3 11:47:16 BST 2010

The Norwegian government is currently working on formulating licenses that
will be used when agencies publish their data. Here is a blog post (in
Norwegian) about the considerations so far:

A question to list members: Do you know of a "best practice" for such
licenses? Licenses that are in line with the principles of open data (the
Open Knowledge Definition?).

National legislation of course complicates things. For instance one has to
take into consideration the law on copyright, see §43:

All the best,
