Good for British Columbia and Gov2.0 initiatives.

"BC's open data license allows entrepreneurial use," tweeted Bowen Moran (@bxmx) in response to a question about the open government initiative. Bowen works on the B.C. public engagement team. "Part of the story there is how it's different from the UK license," Moran continued in a series of tweets. "BC's privacy protections are more robust than the UK's, so the links to the Act are more clearly defined ... the direct emphasis on combining it with other information or by including it in your own product or application is an explicit (and thus very open) invitation to entrepreneurs to build on what we have here. Open government is more than just data being available — it's about an entirely open approach to working with citizens. That's the license's spirit."
