The Linux Foundation has created one open-data licence framework to rule them all, allowing users to collaborate on data-driven projects.

Today at the Open Source Summit in Prague, executive director Jim Zemlin announced the Community Data License Agreement [cdla.io], which is designed for non-proprietary data.

The org says data producers can now share the goods "with greater clarity about what recipients may do with it".

One branch [cdla.io] "puts terms in place to ensure that downstream recipients can use and modify that data, and are also required to share their changes", while the other [cdla.io] does not oblige users to share those changes.

The idea is to accelerate machine learning in open source [theregister.co.uk].
