[talk-au] GNAF (address) data to be released under open license

[Daniel O'Connor]

> Those individuals who are concerned should lobby the government NOW. Not
wait for the licence to be declared, nor any requirements made.

There is already a commitment for CC-BY-3.0 or better due to
http://www.ausgoal.gov.au/creative-commons  and http://data.gov.au/about

Prematurely lobbying the teams who are responsible for this without
understanding prior commitments they've made; and without evidence they'll
violate those commitments might do more harm than good.


The web link in the above ref  (http://data.australia.gov.au) is no longer
> valid ...


Irrelevant: data.gov.au and data.australia.gov.au are the same site run by
the department of finance, the explicit permission was given in response to
an email titled *data.gov.au <http://data.gov.au> feedback*. The older URL
was simply retired after the Gov 2.0 taskforce was over and pilot phase was
done.

Please read the original announcement carefully. Specifically: "The G-NAF
and Administrative Boundaries datasets will be published under an open data
licence at no cost to end users on data.gov.au in February 2016."
