[Geodata] [Fwd: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] defining a Geospatial Integration Showcase to be launched at FOSS4G 2009]

[Cameron Shorter]

Ben, Baden, Brian,
Australia will be hosting the international conference for free and open 
source software for geospatial http://2009.foss4g.org next year and we 
plan to launch an Geospatial Integration Showcase in conjunction with 
the OGC, the Geospatial Standards body.

An issue we are attempting to resolve for this showcase is the license 
we should recommend (or mandate) for datasets used - noting that we 
expect at least half of the datasets to be Australian.

You will see from the thread below that there is concern that there 
existing licenses, like the Creative Commons are not appropriate.

Baden, Brian, as you are involved in Australia's review of licenses, I'm 
interested to hear your thoughts and hopefully be guided by your 
suggestions.
