[odc-discuss] questions regarding ODC-BY

Mon Jan 17 13:21:15 UTC 2011

Hello,

I'm involved in a project to build an API for a city in Germany.
The city administration want to publish governmental data with an
machine-readable (web-) interface. People can build applications on
top of this data.

Here a my questions:

1) Is there a german translation for the ODC-BY?
2) I don't understand why on this site
http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/summary/
the attribution points to the ODbL? I thought they were two
(completely) different licenses? Or is it a mistake?
The sentence is "You must attribute any public use of the database, or
works produced from the database, in the manner specified in the ODbL.
"
3) Do you think the ODC-BY is (with the few informations you have) a
good option for this project?

thanks in advance,

ben
