[okfn-discuss] Crown Commons?

Thu Jun 11 14:37:52 UTC 2009

Reading the Cabinet Office blog post on Berners-Lee helping the UK 
with open information, I note that it mentions developing "'Crown 
Commons' licenses".

Does anybody know any more details about that, and whether there has 
been any work done on that in the UK already? It's an area of interest 
to us in Canada. Last month the Canadian House of Commons procedures 
committee created a limited licence on "the proceedings of the House 
of Commons and its Committees"[1] and we hope it will be a starting 
point to build a Crown Commons type of licence here

Any insight into the status of that initiative in the UK or elsewhere 
would be welcome!

Cheers,
Andy
