Australian Federal Government Commits to Open Access

,----[ Quote ]
| Big news from the Australian Federal 
| Government on the issue of access to public 
| sector information (PSI).
| 
| CCau followers will remember the Government 
| 2.0 Taskforce report released in December 
| last year, which gave Creative Commons a 
| very big tick as the licensing model of 
| choice for Australian PSI. The Federal 
| Government's official response to the 
| report was released yesterday and is 
| generally positive, with the Federal 
| Government agreeing (at least 
| substantially) to 12 of the 13 
| recommendations to come out of the report.
