[GSDI Legal Econ] GUIDE TO OPEN DATA LICENSING

[Roger Longhorn]

GUIDE TO OPEN DATA LICENSING
============================

Over the last month we’ve been working to produce a Guide to Open Data
Licensing. As the name should make clear this is a guide to licensing data
aimed particularly at those who want to make their data open.

At present it is roughly divided into two sections. The first section
deals with the practical question of how to license your data. The second
section discusses what kinds of intellectual property-like rights exist in
data in various jurisdictions.

This guide is very much in an ‘alpha’ state and we’d welcome corrections
or contributions. So please, check it out and feel free to make changes!
