- IMF license for data reuse
- already in place
- is this solely a license or combo license/tos
- do we need to assess licenses where there’s little chance to change and where we do not know the creator of the license
- IMF is high profile
- smaller orgs tend to look to larger orgs for leadership
- let’s reach out to them?
- ask on the list if anyone has a contact we can reach out to (Herb)
- recommendations to Surrey
- sent out last Friday
- Herb to follow up
- ideally Canadian federal govt will entertain a having a reusable license that sub-nationals can use as is done in the UK
