What is geoThink doing to help repair the awful state of Canadian (government) Open Data? The proliferation of licenses, as seen on the geoThink site [1] and the mutual incompatibility of those licenses as seen at clipol [2] is poisonous to Open Data in Canada. Canadian governments must publish open data under ODC-PDDL. How will geoThink move towards this goal to repair (government) Open Data in Canada? Open Data in Canada is dying, because governments are killing it. How is geoThink moving to fix this?
