We decided to consider these two together, right after OGL-Canada
v2.0, which we just approved.

http://www.data.gov.bc.ca/local/dbc/docs/license/OGL-vbc2.0.pdf

They're both very similar to OGL-Canada v2.0, and even more similar to
each other -- the notable difference is that they add another
exemption

Alberta 6(b): Information or Records that are not accessible under
applicable laws;

BC 6(b): Information or Records not accessible under the Freedom of
Information and Protection of Privacy Act (B.C.);

There are links to the relevant provincial acts (which I've not read
yet) in each license.

with BC http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2013-June/000468.html

I'm +0 until further discussion.

Anyone?
* +1 or -1s?
* See problems with the additional exemption?
* Object to even considering sub-national licenses, or endorse our doing so?

Mike
