[okfn-discuss] Open Data Commons Database licence (draft) now out

[Jordan Hatcher's lists]

All,

I would like to announce the draft Open Data Commons Database  
licence.  This is the new name, face, and text of the Talis Community  
Licence update that I mentioned in an earlier email.

The blog post announcing its release is here:
http://www.opencontentlawyer.com/2007/09/24/open-data-commons-licence- 
now-out/

The homepage on my site for information related to the licence is here:

The draft text of the licence itself is located here:
http://www.opencontentlawyer.com/open-data/open-database-licence/

Because we separated out the Data from the Database in the licensing,  
a supplemental BSD/MIT style licence for the data, intended for  
factual information rather than other "contents of databases" is here:

info-licence/

Finally, though I suspect that we will have a lot to talk about on  
this list, I've set up a discuss list specifically for the licence here:

Thanks!
