Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
The city of Houston has published several open data sets at
data.houstontx.gov and cohgis-mycity.opendata.arcgis.com/. While
the data sets and open data websites do not contain any
licensing-related text, there's a general open data policy at <a
href="http://www.houstontx.gov/adminpolicies/8-7.html."
moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.houstontx.gov/adminpolicies/8-7.html.</a><br>
<br>
Am I right to assume that this policy, in particular the
definition of "open data" at No 6, is sufficiently clear so as to
use the data without further permission?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your opinions!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Jan<br>
