[Open-data-census] [CLARIFICATION REQUIRED] Can PSI Licence be considered an "open" license?

Wed Oct 9 16:51:17 BST 2013

Concerning terms:

PSI is more than open data. PSI can be made available behind a pay wall 
(marginal cost) and as far as I understood "for non commercial purposes 
only" is also still PSI.

Just scrolling through the license, I've noticed that there is an 
article which says sublicensing isn't allowed (if I understood 
correctly) and this is certainly not an open license.

Kind regards,

Pieter
