14. “CUTTING THE GORDIAN KNOT”
What are the problems with licensing we had to address?
– To make the data and software generated by the project usable and reusable
– Multiplicity of unclear or non-standard licenses on original data sources
• ‘Public’ can mean use but not redistribute, use in commercial environment,
• Legal position on use and reuse extremely unclear
• Different issues than just linking to data
– What is the legal status of integrated collections of the above, and of derived knowledge?
– Appropriate software license selection
– Legal clarity for EFPIA and end users
– Approaches for commercial data integration, EFPIA in-house data
AIM: to enable maximum possible dissemination and usability of the integrated data and
architecture generated by the project - with approaches that will be applicable in other
data integration projects

32. Questions/Discussions
Moving from Project to Foundation – What
are the expectations?
How best to show the value of platform/API?
What would you expect from sustainability?
What can we do differently?
How to best get contributors involved?
