I've brought up the issue about what license(s) we are going
to use twice and I didn't get much of a response except from Richard.
I replied on this already also - GPL or functional equivalent is fine with
me for code, and I defer ("neutral" I take that to mean) to those with
more knowledge of data licenses to make that decision - as long as it's
"free" in the same way the GPL makes the code "free."
I've been looking at quite what the GPL "free" means.
I'm halfway through trying the register with sourceforge
and one their admin replied

so basically GPL "free" means its OK for someone to take the
dataset put it on their advertising website and make money off it
(with none going back to the project). This has happened already
see GardenBed.com.
Is this cool or not cool?
