[OSGeo-Discuss] Talk on Copyright and Licensing for Geospatial Data

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

I don't know of any good summaries, but there has been considerable discussion within the OpenStreetMap 'community' regarding licensing for spatial data.  OSM data was originally published under a CC-By license, but based on the decision of the OSM Foundation, it has adopted a new license under ODBL.

Hi, Landon.

You might want to look at Robert Goodspeed's recent article looking at
the response to GIS data requests that he sent to hundreds of local
governments across Massachusetts.  His article (open-acess!) has a
whole section discussing the various licensing restrictions and data
policies that he encountered:
