Chris,
first question should be related to the "ShareAlike considered harmful
for geodata":
http://www.systemed.net/blog/entry060311122655.html
..."
- Any map produced using ShareAlike geodata may not contain any
commercial data. If you can't produce your entire map using ShareAlike
geodata, you must not use it at all.
-Such a website, again, may not contain any non-ShareAlike/public domain
(PD) data.
"...
I've not the same opinion but it's my 2 cents...
Any kind of official public recommendations for Administrative Entities
under the Inspire umbrella would be very interesting to avoid fancy
license proliferation from one side and to let them feel safer (more
granted?!?) from the other.
I know it should be a set of licenses (2-3-4) to better fit the
differences of approach all around Europe (and not only).
A simple solutions could be a set of user cases adapted to CC licenses
and applied to geodata.
thanks
Lorenzo
