[od-discuss] Draft Response to Calgary

Wed Jun 26 17:09:59 UTC 2013

re (2): my preference would be to recommend that they adopt a license that
has already been found conformant such as CC-BY, PDDL or the OGL - Canada
v2.0.  (of course this presumes that we've made this decision before I send
this note).
