[od-discuss] Clipol.org Licensing Information db

[Herb Lainchbury]

This is really great Kent.  Congratulations on getting this up.

I think it's a great idea in general to show how different license fare.

It also really highlights some concerns that are still niggling at me.  The
idea of whether or not data even needs a license, and rights clearing.

Happy to discuss these in another thread, but just wanted to say "nice
work".

Is the intention to keep this up to date via github?

Herb
