[okfn-discuss] Licence approval

[Jonathan Gray]

Dear Micu,

I think support for the EFF Open Audio license is discontinued. It is, 
however, compliant with the Open Knowledge Definition (which is very 
similar to the Definition of Free Cultural Works, but includes data in 
addition to content/cultural works):

   http://opendefinition.org/licenses
   http://opendefinition.org/

I haven't seen the Open Music License before. Do you know how many 
people use it, or whether it is being developed? I note that it says 
draft and is dated April 2001. Perhaps we should also list it in the 
'discontinued' section - if we can establish that development has 
ceased. Also I suspect that using the license with the "media locking 
option" on might not be compliant with Free Cultural Works or the Open 
Knowledge Definition - which could be worth noting!

I hope this is helpful!

Warm regards,

Jonathan
