@appropedia, Yeah at worldcarfree.net '08! pdx, when BC requested !opendata & !trimet regretted NON !foss. Now there is OpenTripPlanner.org

US Gov publications are public domain, including city government. !egov !fosspdx @appropedia

@civicsense I think you're mistaken about US city government publications being !publicdomain. Only US Federal Govt, I'm pretty sure.

@civicsense But if you have a source and prove me wrong, that would be excellent news.
-
@civicsense @appropedia is correct unfortunately
-
@civicsense so keep pestering Portland City Council to use an open license ;). !CC-BY-SA, CC-BY & !publicdomain are good / @mlinksva
-
@appropedia @mlinksva Looking into public domain, I found portlandwiki.org/CivicApps with news on !Portland !opendata, !fosspdx
-
@civicsense I see there ack that much of data is in the public domain ; only improvement would be to use !CC0 to ensure that's case for all

@appropedia Oops ur right, but this city&state are open-oregon.com/publications/guide-to-oregons-public-records-law !openlaw !fosspdx !cc0

@civicsense really? where does it say that? I looked at the linked report and http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/192.html see nothing relevant.

@civicsense The law about access is a good start - is there any info there about permissions for reuse and adaptation? !openlaw !fosspdx

@appropedia After you urged me to pester the city, I called our regional gov, and got referred to GovHubs.org. Thanks for the nudge.
