[ox-en] Open Database License (ODbL) goes 1.0

Hi!

The following snippet is from the OKFN newsletter:

OPEN DATABASE LICENSE (ODbL) GOES 1.0
=====================================

Open Data Commons, an OKF affiliated project, has now released v1.0 of
the Open Database License (ODbL) after 6 months of consultation. The
Open Database License (ODbL) is an open share-alike license for data
and databases.

This license, the first of its kind, is a major step forward for open data
as there are few license currently available which are appropriate to data
and databases and none which provide for share-alike (existing share-alike
licenses such as the GPL, GFDL and CC By-SA are all unsuitable for data).

This work has been led by an OKF Board Member, Jordan Hatcher, and has
benefited over the last 6 months of consultation from extensive comments
and feedback from the open data community, especially those in the
Open Street Map project.
