Hi all

Does anyone have any opinions or references for discussions about the legal
issues around open licensing and the Database Right. A suggestion that has
been made to me that by releasing data under, for example, CC-BY-SA, one
wouldn't necessarily be abrogating any rights under the European Database
Right.]

The thinking goes something like this:

If the data was published in small enough chunks, e.g. schools data as one
page per school, with a CC-BY-SA byline, then the licence is applied only to
each page as it is viewed. However the Database Right in the collection of
webpages would still remain, and would not be abrogated by the use of
CC-BY-SA

Anyone like to comment?
