mapgubbins - Open data cannot be “all rights reserved” …

Summary:

"Using “all rights reserved” in the context of open data sends mixed signals to users. They are being told in the licence that they can use the data however they wish and in the attribution statement that (conversely) they have no rights of re-use at all. For this reason I encourage open data publishers to avoid use of “all rights reserved” in attribution statements and metadata."
