To LWG,<br>

<br>
You have not provided an acknowledgement of my recent emails of 11th
Aug, 18th Aug (beyond Grant's message of 27th July). Obviously, you are
busy but I also don't have time to keep going through my emails and
your minutes to see if any discussion has taken place. I first raised
the produced works/CC0/PD compatibility issue with you back on 25th May.<br>
<br>
I have reluctantly decided to set a deadline of 7 days (by 9th Sept)
for a response. After that, I will assume "communications breakdown" -
which, while I assume good faith, is rather inconvenient for us. I do
have other issues to discuss, but things have come to a stand still on
these relatively simple points.<br></div></blockquote></div><br>Dear Tim,<br><br>I will add some information since I have a bit of time.<br>I would like to point your attention to point 4.3 of the ODbL license. ( <a href="http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/">http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/</a> ). From my understanding, the produced work could be released under a CC0 or PD license if you want to. However, you are still obliged to attribute the source that you have used to produce your work.<br>
Setting unilateral deadline doesn't serve no purpose, and it doesn't encourage good will on the long term. I cannot speak for the others but I do spend a lot of time trying to talk to people, and attend the working groups weekly. In addition, you made clear that you have seen some of your issues raised in the past in the minutes. If you cannot find the time to read minutes or emails, I suspect there is nothing I can do for you in the end since I share the same constraints as you with probably some larger one. In the end, I am just a volunteer among many.<br>
They might seem simple points but nothing is ever simple. I suspect that if it was that simple you wouldn't need to ask the LWG in the first place.<br><br>Emilie Laffray<br>
