Hm... I don't think I fully agree. I was thinking more of referring to the definition as one way to go, not advocating it as the way to go. I'm not the expert but have found many different country-dependent cases that would need legal policy changes to do this. You mention one already. Words such as "derivative" makes raise some sort of alarm in my head, specially when when every time we talk OGD, the authoritative source, provenance, trust and licensing issues come up and those are still unsolved. I'm adding John to the copy and expect him to react to this. -- Jose El 30/03/2009, a las 17:23, Jonathan Gray escribió: > We've also been discussing these issues with various people involved > in Principles for Open Government Data.
