I'll summarise here: We have no changes to report since the last Opengeodata blog entry about the licensing. The last "official" statement I heard was at this year's SOTM conference where we were told that the license draft was undergoing review by "a second set of legal eyes" or something like that. I suspect that the fact that Jordan Hatcher, the brain behind much of the initial draft, has taken on a new job (which made it impossible for him to talk at SOTM) has slowed down things considerably. Also, I had the impression that Richard Fairhurst was the foundation officer most active on the topic of discussing, finding, and implementing a new license, and Richard has not stood for re-election... (but him being most active may just be a misconception because he took on the role of communicating with the broader public while everyone else sweated in private). Put in other words: The license debate looks pretty much stalled if you ask me.
