[open-government] Open government data in Brazil

Fri Jul 16 16:36:55 UTC 2010

Suggest if we want to word to include CC licenses we specify a subset
of these which are *open* (as opposed to, e.g., licenses which
prohibit commercial use or derivative works). E.g. could word this:

"the disclosure and dissemination of public data and information in a
structured manner and released under an open license (such as the
Creative Commons Attribution license, CC0 or the PDDL) that makes it
freely reusable by anyone for any purpose"

All the best,

Jonathan
