[od-discuss] Open Data Buttons

Thu Mar 8 17:07:03 UTC 2012

Hi,

I have recently been asked what the precise legal situation is with our
Open Data / Open Content / Open Knowledge buttons. Do they imply CC-BY?
CC-BY-SA? Or are they non-specific?

For example, if someone were to publish a CC-BY article and include an
image with one of our buttons inserted in the bottom corner, what precisely
would that mean? In what way would that be different from displaying a
Creative Commons logo?

Thanks for your input,
Laura
