Have to say I'm not entirely sure here. The UK already has a pretty good and "open" click-use license for crown copyright material: <http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/ukpsi> This is increasingly widely used and, for example, for all the national statistics material. > Does anybody know any more details about that, and whether there has > been any work done on that in the UK already?

My guess is that the click-use license just mentioned is what you are looking for, though not being very cognizant of the Canadian situation I may be wrong. I'd therefore be very interested to hear your feedback once you'd taken a look at the license itself.
