Thanks to all Global Open Data Index 2015 team (!). About GODI 2016: we can improve it?

We notice that a recurrent problem is about licence and licenses inferences:

  • When there are only implied licenses, how to explain with a “licence name”? How to check a reliable interpretation of that context’s implied license.

  • When use a “exotic license”, how to check the basic clauses of the license?

So, some suggestions:

1) use a “family of the license” in GODI statistics. See concept at okfn/licenses/issues/54

2) Help to construct a dataset of all (open or not) licenses at Core Datasets Project to manage licenses attributes, standard names, etc.
