Paolo et al., It is not for lack of ideas. See for example the nicely developed Geo-creative commons paper here: http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/papers/commons_giscience2004.pdf The main problem is that you (we) are up against large burocracies, that are not easily won over using logical or technical arguments :-) This is why I believe that demos, easy and effective demos, are the best way to get the message across. Many of these same agancies probably fought against having websites, but then when it became so easy (and apparently safe; we'll see what the growing spam and hacker wars create) to have a website...they were left with no excuse. cheers, ----------- Michael Gould Department of Information Systems (LSI) Universitat Jaume I, 12071 Castellón Spain E-mail: gould (at) lsi.uji.es http://www.mgould.com http://www.geoinfo.uji.es -----Mensaje original----- De: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de Paolo Cavallini Enviado el: sábado, 20 de agosto de 2005 7:47 Para: [email protected] Asunto: Re: [Freegis-list] Campaign for rejecting Inspire directive? 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. pc At 13:29, mercoledì 17 agosto 2005, michael gould has probably written: ... -- Paolo Cavallini [email protected] www.faunalia.it www.faunalia.com Piazza Garibaldi 5 - 56025 Pontedera (PI), Italy Tel: (+39)348-3801953 _______________________________________________ Freegis-list mailing list [email protected] https://intevation.de/mailman/listinfo/freegis-list
