I only found their reference to the code fest in March[1], do they have their license published for review?
I know that I keep beating this drum, but I really wish that governments would stop trying to write their own open data licenses (even by modifying relatively benign licenses) and JUST USE A VETTED LICENSE WRITTEN AND MAINTAINED BY PROFESSIONALS[2]. The only thing that governments do, by writing their own licenses, is punish those who care enough about open data licenses to actually read them and attempt to use them responsibly.
