Hello Australia OSM, I am a spatial science officer in Qld Transport and Main Roads, involved in the provision of Open Data for public consumption.
Our data is generally released under a CC-BY license, but I have an opportunity to make a case for the ODbL to be a license option. Currently data custodians choose a license from a list of pre-approved licenses, and I am hoping to add ODbL to that list. But first I have to put forward a clear case why this should be considered. Is there a clear argument written down somewhere I can refer to? Also, I am not clear on the incompatibilities between ODbL and specific types of CC licenses. For example, is CC-BY compatible whilst CC-BY-SA not compatible? How about CC-0?
