[od-discuss] Please review: 'Datenlizenz Deutschland' for OD compliance.

Wed Jan 23 11:40:13 UTC 2013

Daniel,

the license is a very interesting one. I'm wondering how the "Changes, editing, new designs or other amendments shall be marked with information in the source note about relevant changes" is going to be implemented - if someone is very strict about it, ANY change in source would have to be marked, therefore making the "changelog" impossible to browse or implement. In my opinion, the better solution would be asking the re-user of data to:

1. inform about the source of data (if someone wants to use original ones) and the date of most-recent data update.
2. inform IF any changes has been introduced to the dataset, so that the user of the secondary service would know that the data doesn't have to be as reliable as original one.

Of course I know it's probably too late to introduce such changes, but still… ;-)

By the way - do you have the clear definition what is the commercial use? It's a big question for me, where is the border between commercial and non-commercial re-use. The clear cases are easy (like: paid access versus the NGO-provided database without advertisement nor payments), but there is a grey zone of "blogs with advertisement" etc.
