Plain language license summaries


Matt Amos contributed a great plain language summary to Open Data Commons for the ODbL. I'm hoping to see similar documents for the PDDL and for the ODC-By when it comes out of draft.

Rather than waiting, I modified the existing document to draft two new plain language summaries. One for the PDDL and another for the ODC-By draft.

Two draft summaries

I've included a new image and a tiny bit of css to make this work and I've updated a couple of links in the html. Links are below and should work with tar xvzf filename / open file in browser. I hope that the ODC finds this helpful as they continue their work, providing legal tools for the Open Data Community.

Thanks!

These are great Richard! Thanks for taking the initiative and putting them together. We'll be adding them to the site soon.
