I’ve looked through a number of the “open data policy” documents published by different Queensland government departments, and I’ve noticed that a lot of them contain references to the “Open Data Institute Queensland”. I’ve searched for their website, and it’s here: https://theodi.org.au/

Cheers Simon, that makes sense. I have to defer to those who have contacted DNRM via private email whether DNRM have made any explicit remarks over the previous permission. I was initially getting the feeling from some comments that there was some legal evidence, but I've not seen anything. I

Hey Joel, Jonathon, great to see your efforts to try to get this through. As an aside I'm working on cataloguing Australian open data potentially useful for OSM with the goal to get the OSMF waiver completed for them all. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogue In cases

Please folks, don't try to a) make this more complicated than it already is, b) try to undo stuff that is long done. I would consider the wording change on the contributors page to be not a good idea (or even factual), and would suggest that  it be changed from "The explicit permission granted

Have we necessarily exhausted all our options? I only ever asked DNRM, I know of other dataset from different agencies which is also CC-BY 4.0. Also is it really needed to redact all that DCDB stuff? That was imported back when we had permission right? On 12/03/18 17:07, Jonathon Rossi wrote: >

I'm glad you mentioned that Ian, because I started looking at what we'd have to "redact" and it is very mixed up with data from DCDB and survey, so we'd loose heaps. https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=Natural+Resources+and+Mines#values

We need the right form of words. I completely agree we should not rely on data.gov.au permission for any new datasets. However, I'm not sure we want words that would give someone justification to go down the redaction path for existing data sets. We were given permission by one arm of the

Thanks Andrew, and thanks again for flagging my use a few months back. Can we once and for all publicly note the "data.gov.au permission can of worms", even if that is simply adding to the existing Contributions page text noting exactly what everyone "in the know" knows about the problem, OSM
