no there was no talk about that, but it's top on my proposals list. I believe that such a thing simply has the chance to be accepted. The EU right now allows reuse with citations as a general rule, but there might be exceptions in each agency and since they don't use a specific license it can be very confusing to read through the copyright statements.
I am just not sure whether it would be better to propose PD or CC-by or just say "free-license".
Was there any discussion of free-licensing government-created works?
This seems like a worthy objective that doesn't adversely affect any
commercial interests (which is the main roadblock to most copyright
reform).
