Hi Sören!

I'm actually on the list (I together with Charlotte and supported by  
Talis drafted the licence) in Oxford right now discussing with Rufus  
about Open Data Commons. I announced it to the list back in December,  
but admittedly it was buried in an email about the Science Commons  
protocol and the licences. OKF has very kindly agreed to provide a  
home to the licences, which means taking over the hosting and any  
updating that is needed.

Announcement (Rufus response)
<http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/okfn-discuss/2008-January/000691.html>

As far as updating the compatible licence page, I thought we'd wait  
till the PDDL is live before changing it -- which is why I haven't  
changed the licence page.  If you think it should be up there now,  
please feel free to post it.

Thanks for posting about Open Data Commons to the list.

All the best,

Thanks!
