[Gerry Tychon-2]

As interest to the group.

"The City of Calgary (“The City”) requests proposals from proponents for the provision of a solution that can provide an “easy to administer and use” open data portal and optional dashboard component for sharing City of Calgary data with citizens, organisations, and other municipalities."

Unfortunately, the City of Calgary's license is not an Open Data license.

From https://data.calgary.ca/OpenData/Pages/TermsofUse.aspx

Limitation of Liability and Indemnity

B.

"To the fullest extent permitted by law, you shall indemnify and save harmless The City, from any claim, loss, damage, injury or liability of any kind, nature and description (including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, attorney’s fees and costs of investigation), that arise directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from your use of the Data, including without limitation your use of the Data in a Derivative Work. In addition to your obligation to indemnify The City, you specifically acknowledge and agree that you have an immediate and independent obligation to defend The City from any claim which actually or potentially falls within this indemnification provision, even if the allegations are or may be groundless, false or fraudulent, which obligation arises at the time such claim is tendered to you by The City and continues at all times thereafter. "

This make their license _not_ an Open Data license. The requirement of blanket Indemnification.

Glen ...

Right you are.

And on a philosophical note, you have to register to get access to the RFP (the data). I wish governments realized that having to register to have access to data goes against open data principles.

Hi Gerry and Glen;

You may want to follow up and give them a heads up with your views.

One thing that many gov administrators are having difficulty with is the counting of datasets downloaded and by whom, and unfortunately the way to track is by registration.
