[od-discuss] Provincial and Game OGLs; Open Definition 2.0

Tue Nov 5 03:35:52 UTC 2013

I've been considering submitting a couple of licenses based on OGL BC for
consideration as OD-conformant licenses. Should this wait until after it is
considered?

I suppose I should list them anyways, because it might be relevant for OGL
BC that cities are having to modify it, even in small ways.

-          Version 1.0 of Open Government Licence - Vancouver
(http://vancouver.ca/your-government/open-data-catalogue.aspx, no direct
link seems possible)

-          Version 1.0 of Open Government License for City of Nanaimo

-          Version 1.0 of the Open Government License for the City of Surrey

Open Game License 1.0a; 2 weeks are up, 2 votes for approval, 1 against.
This means it doesn't pass (if any AC member objects, 3/4ths of those voting
must approve). But I don't have a solid reason for my own abstention -- it
seems clear to me it *could* be used for open works, but am still fuzzy on
whether it has been after 13 years. But given current process and OD,
probably ought to have been approved, with provisos and in a not-recommended
category.

I said that I'd put Open Government License AB and BC up for conformance
vote soon. At this point I also feel like they ought be approved, despite
being problematic.

Going against what I said about putting AB and BC up for approval soon, I'd
now like to hold off, and also potentially revisit the Open Game License.
