[open-government] Question regarding license issues with mashed up data from several sources using several licenses

Mon Feb 13 22:18:51 UTC 2012

Hi Martin,

Im not sure if it may be of any assistance, but I have added a licence
chooser tool to the AusGOAL framework here:
http://www.ausgoal.gov.au/licence-chooser .  It may go some way to
addressing your question.  Its not perfect, and we are building a new one
right now,  but its designed to ask some base level questions about what it
is that you are licensing, and helps you identify the chacteristics of
nested material that has different copyright requirements. ie.. What
licence can you choose for your mashup.  It also has the functionality to
deal with a mashup that incorporates nested CC material.. eg... CC-BY
mashed up with CC-BY-NC...

If you are interested, I can let you let you know when the new version is
launched.

Kind regards,

Baden

> A) Publishing mashed up data & info from the given example sources above
> on a website
> called 'MashUp' (just an example title)
> Is it sufficient (legally) to mentioned the sources of every data set? And
> thats it?
>
> B) Providing these 'MashUp' again as a data set for further re-use (as
> e.g. XML or RDF)
> - Is there a guideline that for instance I am allowed to publish a certain

> for further re-use without a restriction (as it is e.g. for music) etc.....
>
> Or: is the better approach to mention the original source & the original
