Creative Commons, of course, has practising copyright lawyers too. They have<br>

have articulated in the Science Commons Protocol for Implementing Open
Access Data, that it creates barriers that can impede the free and open
exchange and reuse of data and databases, that it may create unintended
consequences for both data providers and users, and that it does not

in education and science." <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ODbL_comments_from_Creative_Commons"><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ODbL_comments_from_Creative_Commons">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ODbL_comments_from_Creative_Commons</a></a><br></div></div>
