I believe ottawa and the other open data cities will adopt the BC licence - http://www.data.gov.bc.ca/dbc/admin/terms.page?
I understand this is the best to date which is a copy of the UK licence.

Yes Kent, and that's basically what we asked to the officials: why not?
And the answer is largely "because the others are doing it" plus some

do as others...

I might be worth to add data here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Data_in_Canada
Maybe creating a table
City Name | License | Portal | ? etc.
What are the other categories?
