[euopendata] Licences for Public Sector Information: EUPL.. ODBL

Fri Jul 9 15:11:12 UTC 2010

Would recommend two basic sets of licenses:

  * Content: CC0 (public domain), CC-BY, or (at most) CC-BY-SA
  * Data: PDDL/CC0 (public domain), ODC Attribution or ODbL

Whatever it is should be compliant with opendefinition.org. Planning
to launch a basic set of principles on this in the autumn (to be
discussed on open-government at lists.okfn.org as international in
scope).
