for one of the data sets currently published through the GBIF
network. We thank you for supporting global biodiversity
informatics in this way and would like your input as we make
some key decisions for the future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are seeking to improve consistency in
publishing and use of GBIF data and to ensure that we provide
the best possible support both to publishers and users. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To achieve this, we need to address some
major issues around the licensing of data published through
the GBIF network. The attached document explains the options
and seeks your input to help us identify an appropriate
approach to licences, and particularly to handling usage in
not-for-profit and commercial contexts.<o:p></o:p></p>
