[open-government] government data licenses - best practice?

Fri Sep 3 10:54:02 UTC 2010

  The Norwegian government is currently working on formulating licenses 
that will be used when agencies publish their data. Here is a blog post 
(in Norwegian) about the considerations so far:

A question to list members: Do you know of a "best practice" for such 
licenses? Licenses that are in line with the principles of open data 
(the Open Knowledge Definition?).

National legislation of course complicates things. For instance one has 
to take into consideration the law on copyright, see §43:

All the best,
