[od-discuss] Open Definition 2.1 vote

Wed Aug 26 15:43:03 UTC 2015

+1

And many thanks to Herb and other colleagues for seeing this through. I
like the wording of 1.3 and 1.4 and think they read easily and clearly.

I know how much effort it is to have to return again and again under the
final version works.

The Open Definition and its process is one of the glories of the OKF (aka
OK). It's a model for something that is critically useful, boring for 99%
of people, but really important. Every time I hear "openwashed" permissions
(as in "Open Access") I quote the OD at them.

It has magic powers.
