[open-archaeology] Open Data Licences and the Heritage Lottery Fund (great guidance but recommend the NC clause) - lobbying activity

Fri Feb 8 16:08:57 UTC 2013

If you're looking for legal advice around openness, then you could pop a
note to the list for the Open Definition:

http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/od-discuss

Which includes these guys: http://opendefinition.org/advisory-council/

Could also ask Ross Mounce (in cc) for a proof read/input...

All the best,

Jonathan
