My hat goes off to the ABS. Someone within the public sector had to lead the
way.
Cheers,

[Wikimediaau-l] CC licensing implemented for the ABS

2008-12-22 Thread Jessica Coates
Those following the post a few weeks ago about the announcement by the 
Australian Bureau of Statistics that they were going to release their material 
under a Creative Commons licence will be pleased to know that it's happened.

All content on the ABS website (other than logos and other trade marked 
content) is now marked as CC BY - including all census data, economy data, fact 
sheets, analysis, press releases etc. 

Hopefully this will just be the start of a general move towards open access by 
the Australian public sector.
