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

Tue Feb 14 17:40:10 UTC 2012

Hi Baden 

many thanks for your feedback on this and the link that is really very helpful - in our mashup case I fear 
that we have nmore then just CC licenses - what makes it a little bit more complicated - I think we do have 
to manage a 'copyright clearing' for all the sources - cause there are also sources / data sets without 
given terms as well as partly restricted material where we do have to point out to contact the data owner 
for re-use (what is a little bit crazy when speaking about open data - but we need this data) ... 

Please let me know when the new version of your AusGOAL framework is launched - many thanks in advance! 

Many thanks and regards from Vienna, Austria - Martin

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

Dear all, 

is there any guideline & info / experience available 
when mashing up data & information from several data sources 
that have different licenses / terms of use (no info about this)... 

So e.g. when putting together data from A) World Bank (that is free for re-use by terms of use), 
B) data.gov.uk (giving the Open Gov Data License - free to re-use by attribution) 
as well as C) another source that has a CC license and D) data that I have collected 
by myself via e.g. a questionnaire and D) data from a website that provides no clear 
terms of use information.... 

2 Use Cases to clarify: 

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 range of data 
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 license per part of the 
'MashUp' data - what could become a huge effort if using lots fo data sources.... 
or becomes impossible because I have mashed too much and the original source becomes 
unable to mention exactly... 

Many thanks for support / infos / opinions - all the best - martin
