[tdwg-tag] open data

Sorry for the spam, but the subjects of data copyright, data licensing, and public domain came up repeatedly in conversations I had at the TDWG conference. I know this isn't really a technical issue, but tdwg-tag is the only TDWG list I'm on (so far). I'm hoping some of you will circulate the following pointer to your colleagues working on data policy. The article explains some of the issues around copyright and licensing as they pertain to data and gives the current Creative Commons position.
