[Talk-GB] Crowdsourced boats to map the seas : BBC Article - video

[Dan S]

Hi all -

I went and asked them about data licencing. They're not going the
open-data route - essentially personal use only, so they can reserve
the ability to charge for some uses.

For interest, here's the description of the European grant which
helped them develop their crowdsourcing:

(NB it's not just a "pure" research grant but a commercial development thing.)

Best
Dan
