There's clearly some communication failure going on here. This isn't sufficient confirmation of anything except maybe that somebody at data.gov.au thinks something is terrific, probably something on the attribution page. There's no mention of licence compatibility or special permission grants, and a complete lack of the clear statements I'd expect to see. All context has been removed, and the phrase "That is terrific" can't stand alone. Richard, is it possible to simply forward the communications you have from data.gov.au to this list, or otherwise make them publically available? That should put the matter to rest one way or another. -- Sam Couter | mailto:[email protected] OpenPGP fingerprint: A46B 9BB5 3148 7BEA 1F05 5BD5 8530 03AE DE89 C75C
