Re: ODRL Profile for Linked Data

As I understand it, if creating the contents of a Linked Data dataset 
has required an effort and has originality attributable to somebody, it 
qualifies to become object of*intellectual property*. This would be the 
case if, for example, you write news in English language and put them in 
a RDF format. The dataset would be protected by IPR laws.

If it is not the case, and you have just made a database picking some 
contents from wikipedia, some from the government dataset, etc., you are 
not protected at all by IPR laws but by the *database* right only, which 
acknowledges your efforts for compiling and structuring the information.
