This is really great news!

It is great to see all these governments adopting an open license at once!

This means that people who use data from these cities and the province of Quebec can mix and match freely without having to learn the ins and outs of each jurisdiction's licensing.  Plus, they can easily mix and match that data with other jurisdictions similarly using conformant open data licenses (like the Canadian Federal Government for example!).  (http://opendefinition.org/licenses/)

I would love to see this happen in other provinces.

Others may now better but I have felt that having a license that varies by a single word makes it, legally, a different license. So, if your were integrating data from different sources (all using their version of the Canadian Open Government License) you would have to reference each license individually.

Canada's Open Government Licence [1] has been adapted by a number of cities and provinces - with the only difference being the name of the jurisdiction and the governing law clause. Cities include Guelph, Grande Prairie County No. 1, Nanaimo, Strathcona, Toronto (just looking at the licenses we use in Represent [2]).

With respect to the Quebec initiative, there is something comparable in Ontario:

"Public Sector Open Data (PSOD)
The Federal Government, Province of Ontario and City of Guelph are working with other Open Data municipalities in a group called PSOD to develop common processes and formats. The objectives of the PSOD are to develop standardization which allows for equal and easy access to public data."

The important point, from our point of view, is that all the bodies who publish open data in Quebec (province and 4 cities) have adopted the same generic license! Really good move.

Montréal est la première ville au Québec ayant utilisé les données
ouvertes et dans la perspective de faire de la métropole une ville
toujours plus intelligente et apprenante, le maire de Montréal, M.
Denis Coderre, est fier d’annoncer que la Ville de Montréal souhaite
adopter la licence ouverte CC BY 4 internationale de Creative
Commons.

La métropole, ainsi que les villes de Québec, Gatineau et Sherbrooke
et le gouvernement du Québec qui emboîtent aussi le pas, unifieront
leur licence de données ouvertes avec l’objectif de faciliter le
partage des données selon des normes communes. Cette demande
conjointe de normalisation de la part de quatre grandes villes et du
gouvernement du Québec est une première au Canada et s’inscrit dans
une tendance mondiale d’harmonisation des processus en matière de
libération de données des administrations publiques. Il s’agit d’un
tour de force qui stimulera les échanges entre la Ville et les
Montréalais et les administrations publiques entre elles.
