Hi Richard,
GeoThink is a research project (over 5 years) on open geospatial data in
Canada under the direction of Dr. Renée Sieber (McGill U).
The issue of licenses for the use of data AND contenst is definitely not
currently resolved, not only in Canada but around the world. On the
other hand, Clipol CIPPIC tool is an excellent tool for government and
private can advance open licenses.
I suggested to Kent Mewhort improve Clipol to indicate the points that
are losing the quality of open licensing so that litigation can refer.
Licenses types supported by OFKN are:
ODbL (eg used by OSM to its database);
CC-BY (OSM is more restrictive forthe tiles with CC-BY-SA);
PDDL
http://opendatacommons.org/licenses
Do you have any suggestions or contributions to advance open licenses to
all levels of government to maturity?
Best Regards,
--

Bonjour Immanuel et les autres à Montréal,
Il y a le 26 juin, une rencontre organisée conjointement et
simultanément à Montréal (OKFN Meetup Montréal;
http://www.meetup.com/OpenKnowledgeFoundation/Montreal-CA/877112/)
et à Québec (Meetup GéoQuébec; http://www.meetup.com/quebec-geo/)
sur le projet de recherche GéoThink qui utilise OSM.
Diane, you are involved in both OKFN and geoThink? What is geoThink
doing to help repair the awful state of Canadian (government) Open
Data? The proliferation of licenses, as seen on the geoThink site [1]
and the mutual incompatibility of those licenses as seen at clipol [2]
is poisonous to Open Data in Canada. Canadian governments must
publish open data under ODC-PDDL. How will geoThink move towards this
goal to repair (government) Open Data in Canada?
Open Data in Canada is dying, because governments are killing it. How
is geoThink moving to fix this?
Je peux aussi vous proposer, à titre d'ambassadrice
(coordonnatrice) du OKFN, groupe local au Canada, de soutenir cet
anniversaire à Montréal pour le volet curation.
Qu'en dites-vous?
Note : Je sais Meetup n'est pas une application libre, mais pour
l'instant je n'ai pas trouvé d'alternative. Vos suggestions?
You might try GroupSpaces? The Fredericton OpenStreetMap group has
used GroupSpaces in past. Perhaps the organizers will offer their
thoughts. http://groupspaces.com/FredOSM
