A point that could maybe help in advocating openness: how many of the
LOD datasets <http://richard.cyganiak.de/2007/10/lod/> are available
under an OKD-compliant license?

I am more and more surprised to see lots of people working with the
semantic web who don't really get the "open" in Linked Open Data. I am
constantly pointing them to opendefinition.org

Ciao,
Stefano
