> 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!
