Subject: Re: [ubl-lcsc] [code] ISO considering charging for commercial use of code lists
Sorry to be the wet blanket here, but UN/ECE publishing the lists on the internet doesn't necessarily imply UBL will be able to repackage the information and distribute in UBL's package. Please see http://www.unece.org/etrades/uncopyright.htm where the important applicable section is section 2(a) in which it is explcitly stated that redistributing or derivative works are not explicitly permitted unless there are writings stating otherwise. Would LSC need to obtain some permission grants from UN/ECE on this matter? I could proceed with the UBL-isation of those codes if there's such writing of permission grants.
