To jump into a conversation with which I probably lack the time to
engage properly:
My disclaimer: I am working with OS and with OGC on what is
called "GeoDRM"
Thanks for disclosing this. The term "DRM" doesn't mix well with
"open", though. The OGC should change its name.
Well ... I think that "open" implies we have certain rights. The
individuals or organizations to whom those rights apply may be a
condition of the license for any given transaction, but I claim
they're there in the open case. And yes, if I understand correctly,
click-through access is a use case for the folks working on GeoDRM.
In fact, I believe it's their fundamental use case.
Isn't it funny how I come out as a heretic wine-drinking catholic
in the puritan OpenStreetMap crowd, and at the same time as a
harsh inquisitor here among the Geowanking atheists? It's the
same in operating systems: We Linux users have to fight OpenBSD
puritans (and FreeBSD methodists)
Cool - I've never been called a methodist before! (Beware my
enthusiasm: I'm a fairly recent convert.)
Flip
on one side, and MS Windows
atheists on the other.
