[od-discuss] Draft Response to Calgary

Herb

Thanks for this draft.  I am basically +1 with it subject to:

(1) adding the point Kent makes about revocation - where the provision is
horrible because the full text shows that it essentially allows Calgary to
revoke an individual user's licence in an arbitrary and discriminatory
fashion.  While this might be an extreme case, it is not beyond the bounds
of possibility if someone created an application that an influential
politician did not like.

(2) a clearer sign-posting to what would be an acceptable standard licence.
Should we only recommend CC-BY, or should we point them to the possibility
of adopting the Canadian OGL as an alternative?  

Regards

Andrew
