Not as far as the law is concerned, no. Not for DPA or for copyright. The DPA is not likely to be a problem (as I think I've explained). Copyright is the more significant.

Copyright just happens, you don't need to claim it. -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
