It may be a small win, but it is a win nonetheless.

Special tap on the shoulder for Mathias (Schindler) whose quick answers and knowledgeability helped win several important aguments at the hearing in Luxembourg last year!

Commission implementation guidelines

While the document is not published yet, Szymon Lewandowski from the Commission presented the content that will be released in two weeks time. The Commission is recommending:

  • Not licensing material that is already in the public domain
  • Using cc-0 as a default license
  • Using cc-by where a public sector body doesn't feel comfortable with cc-0

Terrific news - thanks for sharing, Dimi. There will, of course, be pushes for "compatible" licenses, but we'll deal with that when we come to it...
