If the copyright law attaches and the data is PD, I can extract it and
your contract doesn't matter.

If anyone will be at GSDI in Trinidad this week, drop me a note if you'd
like to meet in person. I'm speaking at the plenary session on Wednesday.
I will likely refer to this debate in my comments but only in a general
sense (i.e. I won't name anyone, just outline the contours of the

I got a question from the list, did some research, and herein present
the answers. That's it - as Steve noted early in this, IANAL, and
arguments about the law between non lawyers can be as absurd as
arguments about geospatial nodes between lawyers...
I suggest you sit down with some lawyers
merging several threads here
I am not speaking for CC the organization here - there have been no
conversations to my knowledge about doing a compatibility check between
ODbL and CC licensing. But, I would remind everyone that the current
official CC policy on CC licenses and databases -
(although I find the idea that freedom can only come from the
barrel of a license deeply depressing).
That's CC Zero out of the running then.
Actually no. This is a slightly wonky lawyer debate about semantics, but
we think tools like CC0 should be called *waivers* and not *licenses*.

Er, sounds like a red herring to me since they can have database
rights
. Science Commons ain't the voice of
CC for data, and never was, and it's our collective fault in both parts
of the organization that we allowed that to happen (as Mike Linksvayer
pointed out in a post earlier this year at
http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/26283).

weren't very well
integrated with CC at that point either.
When I was in a previous job, I heard an aphorism that stuck with me.
