[OSGeo-Discuss] OGC geospatial rights mgt. summit

[Landon Blake]

Doesn't the USGS already release a ton of data in the public domain?

I also thought an organization interested in standards for geospatial
data might be interested in geospatial data licensing. They seem like
parallel tracks.

That's not going to happen. OGC has many national mapping agencies as
members and USGS and OS are never going to allow this. Plus it isn't
any of the OGC's business as to what sort of licenses are used on
data.
