[Freegis-list] Campaign for rejecting Inspire directive?

[Paolo Cavallini]

A pragmatic approach that may be useful:
1. draft an explicit model (or more) for open geodata licence, as an 
alternative to current situation; this may follow GPL, or the Creative 
Commons; care should be taken not to allow what NMA pecieve as theft of data 
from commercial companies
2. put together a few lines on why geodata should be free (examples from the 
USA, etc); several of you have already written good things about this
3. start circulating a petition on this; it worked for software patents, why 
not for geodata?
I'm available to help, if needed.
All the best.
