Hello,
Mathias Schindler today tweeted [1] that the University Library Konstanz eventually published its data under CC-0. This is the first library outside the hbz library network to publish its data under an open license! At first they went with CC-BY-NC-SA - as Mathias already mentioned on this list [2] - but were prompted by several people - amongst others on Germany's biggest mailing list for librarians Inetbib - to use Open Knowledge Definition compatible license.
Obviously they now have changed the licensing terms, see http://wiki.bsz-bw.de/doku.php?id=v-team:daten:openaccess:knub
What might interest you even more: It's MARC data!
Cheers
Adrian
