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

Fri Mar 1 01:58:19 UTC 2013

I really like the simplicity of this license, but I don't think it conforms
to the definition.

As written, I think the statement "Changes, editing, new designs or other
amendments shall be marked with information in the source note about
relevant changes, or the source note must be deleted if the entity keeping
the data requires so." imposes two requirements on the user beyond
attribution and share-alike.

1. if you publish the data in a modified form you have to document your
modifications in the attribution note
2. if you publish the data in a modified form and the publisher requires
you to remove the attribution note, you must remove it

So, I would say, it's non-conformant as written.  If they can somehow
remove that clause then I think would be a simple attribution license that
conforms.
