[Talk-ca] BC2020 OD_tables wiki and project status

[john whelan]

I'm under the impression that Ottawa was the first city to move to the Open
Data 2.0 licence created by Treasury Board.

I'm also under the impression that it is the only one that has had its
benediction from the legal working group.  Treasury Board of Canada put
quite a lot of effort into updating their 1.0 license and aligning their
2.0 license with other organisations.  I don't believe their 1.0 license
meets OSM licensing requirements.

I seem to recall they have a municipality kit to assist municipalities with
Open Data.

There seems to be rather more green boxes than I would have expected.  I
would hope they all have been approved by the Legal Working Group or are an
exact clone of the TB municipality one as Ottawa is.
