Hi Mathias This is super helpful thanks, a few follow on questions about the directive if you or anyone else knows.
- Do you know if there's anything I could read which discusses how these parts of the directive are applied to cultural organisations? Basically what this means in practice and any examples - What does 'where the re-use of such documents is allowed' mean? Is it 'if its publicly available it has to be under an open license'? Or something else? - What encourages governments to follow this directive? Is it a legal requirement? Or is it best practice, or they get some kind of recognition or potential for funding?
