Rufus Awesome this is happening, but the name is wrong. We don't need a OKFNODCAL, and even the ODbL can be shortened, we need something that they all share and then we also need a NC version. I suggest it's just something like OD for OpenDatabase in place of CC, so that you get OD-BY-SA as the current ODbL and OD-BY which would be your OKFNODCAL.
You guys should position this as a suite of licenses that solve the licensing problems for data, immediately fragmenting the names and URL is the wrong way to go. Other than that, brilliant! Yours &c.
