As far as I understand, SC is for "everything that should be public domain should be public domain," which is significantly different from "everything should be public domain." On the other hand, if folks, even if some folks, feel that geospatial data should be or should not be public domain, then I would be happy to convey that to SC. As things stand, I do happen to see and agree with SC's wisdom in advising a CC0 type mark for scientific data, which could include geospatial data as well. -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org/ Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org/ Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org/ Science Commons Fellow, Geospatial Data http://sciencecommons.org Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- collaborate, communicate, compete ======================================================================= Sent from Bromma, AB, Sweden _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
