Replying to [comment:15 wdj]:
> The only issue is the license. I think the meataxe license needs to be
looked into. I think there are some former meataxe people at or near
Aachen aren't there? I expect it would not be a problem to change it from
GPLv2 to GPLv2+ but of course you need to ask.
In the next few weeks I will be in a rather remote location, so it is
unlikely that I will often be in the internet.
Could perhaps David Green (who is Cc for this ticket) ask in Aachen?
> Regarding the license of the database, in the US, I think it is not
copyrightable. (I am not a lawyer and this is only my opinion but see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_Publications_v._Rural_Telephone_Service
if you are interested in details.) Because of this, I would recommend the
creative commons CC0 license http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/,
which I think has the same effect under US and German law (which I think
is completely different than US law in this instance since I think German
databases are copyrightable).
> You could also just choose the GFDL for it and not worry about the US
law.
OK, but it still does not explain ''how'' I put the database under any
licence.
Probably these things can be sorted out after juli 22?
Cheers,
Simon
