[od-discuss] German Data License 2.0 decision time

Fri Sep 19 18:32:15 UTC 2014

Dear all,

I think two weeks for feedback and voting have passed. I have only seen pluses and one comment by Mike who is abstaining from voting. 

Data License Germany Zero 2.0
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RqQqkCt7t9yO5YMrRsXEMnoS5cCDzUtbDf-tN0Upq1A/edit#

Data License Germany Attribution 2.0
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z8aKuEoyPw_T_LZNBTH1O_ZSJCta9N1YgWSiX5zXzw4/edit#

My understanding is that both licenses are now approved by the Advisory Council to be in conformance with section 2 of the open definition (v2.0):

https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/blob/master/source/open-definition-2.0/open-definition-2.0.en.markdown#2-open-licenses 

If so, what are the next steps? Could someone please send an official not to Dr. Helene Groß (in CC) from the German Ministry of the Interior? 

I guess we also should add both licenses to http://opendefinition.org/licenses/

What do people think?

All the best
Daniel
