Incidentally, to clarify, I meant to ask a more fundamental question about mappings: are these creative works, deserving themselves of a CC license, or executable code, deserving of a code license?

Whichever way, I'd like to make them as encumbered as possible.

I'd like to publicly release R2RML mappings for the MusicBrainz dataset. DBpedia has shown interest in including the subset that can be used to create a linkset.

Any idea what (kind of) licence could/should apply? (To be clear, to the mappings, as opposed to the dataset)

I'd also like to attach, since R2RML is RDF, a licence and attribution on a per rr:TriplesMap basis. (The mappings are hosted on github and contributions will be accepted as I'm never going to get through all of the MB Advanced Relationships, a moving target, myself and I'm being a bottleneck.)

The question's also been raised on whether a given licence can in turn impose conditions on the triples that are created using it (as derivative works)? Does that sound feasible?

Any input appreciated.

Barry
