So far most of the big government adopters of CC here in Australia who are
working with data have used BY – the ABS (http://abs.gov.au), Geoscience
Australia
(http://www.ga.gov.au/about-us/news-media/media/releases/2009/20112009_commons.jsp),
data.australia.gov.au (http://data.australia.gov.au), Bureau of
Meteorology’s Improving Water Information Program
(http://www.bom.gov.au/water).
But for more 'creative material' - eg photographs, reports etc - they are
more conservative/varied.

Hi Danyl,
You'll be glad to read that both the Australian Govt 2.0 taskforce document
"Engage. Getting on with Government 2.0: Draft Report of the Government 2.0
Taskforce" and the New Zealand SSC's "Draft New Zealand Government Open
Access and Licensing framework" recommend that the most permissive CC licence
(BY) is used wherever possible.
Below is pasted some information from paragraph 7 of NZGOAL (CC BY 3.0 NZ),
describing instances that might call for more restrictive CC or other
licences. I guess point 3 is relevant to your comment here....
Restrictions
37 Neither the Open Access Principle nor the Open Licensing Principle
applies where providing open access to and allowing re-use of information and
data (in the case of non-copyright information and data) or licensing a
copyright work with the Creative Commons Attribution (BY) licence (in the
case of copyright works):
1. would or might be contrary to legislation, court order or specific
government policy;
2. would or might constitute a breach of contract, breach of confidence,
disclosure of a trade secret or other actionable wrong;
3. would be contrary to an agency’s own legitimate commercial or other
interests (bearing in mind, however, that, with certain exceptions, it is
generally not the business of government to commercialise its information,
data or copyright works);
4. would result in the publication of a patentable invention for which the
agency proposes or may wish to apply for a patent;[14]
5. would be contrary to the public interest (e.g., in having a single,
authoritative and non-adapted data source);
6. would result in the release of incomplete information or data or an
incomplete work where the agency considers, acting reasonably, that such
release would be:
o materially misleading;
o likely to cause or contribute to material error on the part of recipients
or licensees; or
o otherwise problematic;[15]
7. would or might threaten the control over and/or integrity of Māori or
other traditional knowledge or other culturally sensitive material;[16]
8. would or might jeopardise the economic or other potential to Māori or
other indigenous groups of Māori or other traditional knowledge or other
culturally sensitive material; or
9. would otherwise conflict with the existence of a good reason under
sections 6 or 9 of the Official Information Act for withholding release of
the information, data or work if the information, data or work were requested
under that Act.
I understand that in both NZ and Australia, one of the biggest barriers to
the most permissive licensing is often the need for cultural shift within
departments.

Kia ora koutou
Thanks for that Jane, great news for CC.
I'm curious as to whether the CC license being recommended for the public
sector includes a non-commercial clause or not? I can see arguments for both
sides. On the one hand, I think it's reasonable for people and entities
making a private profit from information resources created with public funds
to return some of that profit to the public purse. On the other hand,
businesspeople are taxpayers too, and I can imagine them arguing (quite
fairly) that they shouldn't have to may for this information twice.
Thoughts?
