Dear Richard, >From your comment above, I presume that you are seeing a "non-commercial" requirement in the StatsCan license. From the link Sam posted recently[1], I do not see any such limitation. Section 3.0 License grant includes the text, "grants to the Licensee ... right and license .. to sell ... licensed Derived Products" The terms require that the source be acknowledged, and that the inclusion of the data not be seen as an endorsement of the product by Statistics Canada. This seems agreeable to cc-by-sa based on my quick reading of it. Are you looking at a different license? Link?
