[open-science] Fwd: New edition UKDA guide: Managing and Sharing Data

Mon May 9 12:35:02 UTC 2011

Yes - this is great Alex. Only two things which I would add to the top:

  * Simple step by step instructions to using/applying a data license
  * Clear guidance/recommendation on which licenses to use (e.g. PDDL,
ODbL, CC0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA).
