&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a project started by the [[Public Geospatial Data Committee]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right to reuse and redistribute publically accessible bodies of data needs to be clear. This group can help provide guidelines for public geodata licensing, both of community-contributed and state-collected bodies of data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Focus ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Provision of clear guidelines for licenses, and the implications of their uses, for people contributing data to geospatial web / GSDI efforts.&lt;br /&gt;
* Potential work on a draft LPGL license to complement the draft [http://cemml.carleton.ca:8080/OGUG/pgl/ PGL].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
