[od-discuss] OD conformant proposal: Open Government Licence v3.0

Fri Oct 17 14:38:39 UTC 2014

Hi Jo,

The language you propose would seem to preclude use of the URI option if
there is only one provider.  In our work in the mobile space, the challenge
of making attribution visible is often raised, so the linking option works
well.  You might want to consider using the same language used in 4.0
<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode>, "in any reasonable
manner based on the medium, means, and context…", which we've stated (by
way of example in the license) allows for attribution by link.  That would
also align the attribution requirements of our licenses more squarely.

Best,
Diane
