Dear backstage team,
I have a question regarding the backstage data license:
How does the BBC define non-commercial use? Do you consider a free web
I really wish somebody could come up with a definition (or at a push,
a couple of alternative identifiable definitions) of "commercial" vs
"non-commercial" that everyone could get behind (much as in the same
way that everybody has a pretty good idea of what "attribution" and
"share-alike" entails).
Openstreetmap comes up against this a bit.
(a freely editable wiki-map of the world - including since a few days
ago - a lot of content in Haiti)
We can't import any -nc licensed data - as some governmental data is -
simply as it substantially limits use.
http://www.opengeodata.org/2009/11/11/921/ Is a fun example.
"What is the Cake Test? Easy: A set of geodata, or a map, is libre only
if somebody can give you a cake with that map on top, as a present."
There are many positions. A blog with adwords on it for example, and
some content.
Is this commercial - there is a profit being made? ...
