[Aust-NZ] What Open Government can learn from us Open Source folks

[Cameron Shorter]

I'm going through and methodically actioning the great feedback on this 
essay.

I've rewritten the first 2 introduction sections to, be more pointed, in 
line with feedback. I'd love another review if you have the time.

Joel,

You are right to call out Government and Open Street Map licenses as an 
anti-pattern to collaboration, and I think it is worthy of a blog post 
on its own. If mapping agencies such as PSMA are not able to share their 
data with the biggest open source geospatial community then we should 
revisit government's approach. I also agree that it is too much detail 
for this particular article, but should be something we follow up on.

Warm regards, Cameron
