Summary:
"This report provides a snapshot of licence proliferation in government. It explains why new licence terms complicate the licensing ecosystem and fail to resolve deeper issues around copyright and existing licence incompatibilities. The report makes a case for the use of public domain dedication and existing reusable standard licences and argues that a core issue of licensing is a lack of centralised coordination within government."
