There appears to be no license for the 'open' data.
There is a general terms of use for the site: https://www.peelregion.ca/privacy/index.htm Copyright section: https://www.peelregion.ca/privacy/disclaimer.htm#sharing "All information on this website is protected by copyright. You may not modify, copy, distribute, reproduce, or publish content or an image on our site, in whole or in part, unless we give you written permission.

Be sure to provide as much detail as possible about how you intend to use the content or image. " So this is not an open data site. This is a data release initiative.

I used their feedback form to communicate these issues and offered to
help them put together a real Open Data license for their initiative. I will update the list when/if I hear from them. If anyone else wants to help (if Peel is interested) just let me know. :-) -Glen On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 9:29 AM, Glen Newton <[hidden email]> wrote: > There appears to be no license for the 'open' data. > > There is a general terms of use for the site: > https://www.peelregion.ca/privacy/index.htm > Copyright section: https://www.peelregion.ca/privacy/disclaimer.htm#sharing > "All information on this website is protected by copyright.

The (new) Toronto license is worth emulating http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/open_data/open_data_fact_sheet_details?vgnextoid=59986aa8cc819210VgnVCM10000067d60f89RCRD
Most cities have just copied the Vancouver license. The members of the G4 (Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, Ottawa) will be adopting something close (if not identical) to that license. On 2012-04-20, at 9:47 AM, Glen Newton wrote:

"that license" as in the latest Toronto license.

I got a response from Peel.
Their license is here: http://opendata.peelregion.ca/terms-of-use.aspx It is s good license. :-) I suggested they make the link to the license more prominent, as I was not able to find a link to the license on their pages.... -Glen On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 10:33 AM, James McKinney <[hidden email]> wrote: > "that license" as in the latest Toronto license. > > On 2012-04-20, at 10:32 AM, James McKinney wrote: > > The (new) Toronto license is worth > emulating http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/open_data/open_data_fact_sheet_details?vgnextoid=59986aa8cc819210VgnVCM10000067d60f89RCRD > > Most cities have just copied the Vancouver license.
