[od-discuss] OANC license approval?

[Jonathan Gray]

Hi all,

Someone just pointed out to me the American National Corpus project, a
very interesting project with the subtitle "committed to open data for
language research and education":

http://www.americannationalcorpus.org/

As part of the project, they distribute a bunch of data under the
following ‘homegrown’ licence:

http://www.anc.org/OANC/license.txt

I'd like to ask the group whether this complies with the Open
Knowledge Definition? In particular it would be interesting to have
'official' approval that this license is OKD compliant (if it indeed
is), and to have it listed somewhere on the OD project site, e.g.:

http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/

Suggest this could be a great test case for license
evaluation/approval process! ;-)
