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.
