thank you very much for your initiative. Although it is about Open Data and not about Free Software, I personally think it is important for the Free Software movement to make a philosophical standing in these newer movements that sometimes forget about the basics. So, thank you very much for your pro-activity and I am happy you received such a positive answer.
