Hi all Does anyone have any opinions or references for discussions about the legal issues around open licensing and the Database Right. A suggestion that has been made to me that by releasing data under, for example, CC-BY-SA, one wouldn't necessarily be abrogating any rights under the European Database Right.]
The thinking goes something like this: If the data was published in small enough chunks, e.g. schools data as one page per school, with a CC-BY-SA byline, then the licence is applied only to each page as it is viewed. However the Database Right in the collection of webpages would still remain, and would not be abrogated by the use of CC-BY-SA Anyone like to comment?
