Okay, Chris Fleet (the Map Librarian at NLS) will be presenting this service at Open Knowledge Scotland, and relevantly, Charlotte Waelde and Andres Guadamuz, old colleagues of Jordan Hatcher (of Open Data Commons/ODBL) at SCRIPT, they'll be doing a "clinic" on open data licensing issues.

So we can make sure everyone meets - Bob i see you're on the okscotland attendee list already which is great because we're well overcapacity - and even raise this as a test case at their clinic, if they have that kind of flexibility.

Bob, i did forward Chris and Petr the original mail from Frederik lasy week, if there's any followup I'll definitely cc you (and look forward to meeting on Thursday!)

I could also *try* asking JISC Legal, it would be useful to get stable advisory words wrt ODbL from them.

cheers,


jo
