Hi, Ben, Pieter,
I do not have any opposition as joining OKFN and OSM opinion in one document. I thought it was more strategic to have two voices, but I am not sure this reasoning match with reality. I propose to write differently the chapter about "open source" in a way which is more pragmatic. I might do this at the beginning of the week. OK ? Or I delete this chapter completely ? @Jo: the permission to trace from WMS is included in our request to open data globally. I also have contacts which focus more on web services. But I will mention the persmissions of Brussels and Flanders (the advance of wallonie and brussels is a quite good arguments with our politics :-) ).
