[epsi-coord] possible law cases to pursue?

Marc, Katleen,

as you both form our 'legal branch', I think this may be something for you
to follow up:

At Hack de Overheid I talked to the guys of irail.be and they mentioned both
a German courtcase as well as a French one on citizens/orgs re-using train
schedule data from the publicly held transport companies. I've googled
around and found this:

In Germany there is a court case around deinbus.de
According to info here
http://deinbus.de/klage/?frontend=d60d748feebe4bbb3d94cefc77201c90 the
courts in Frankfurt will announce judgment on April 20th.
I am not totally sure if this case is about re-use aspects or if Deutsche
Bahn has other grievances they are bringing to court.

The French case has to do with the RATP http://www.ratp.fr/ but couldn't
find more quickly. I have asked Pieter Colpaert of irail.be if he can
provide a pointer. Will let you know when I hear more.

best,

Ton
