Licence for whatdotheyknow data

[davidread]

Has the licence for the whatdotheyknow list of public bodies been established? We asked a few months ago and they didn't have one, although no doubt with a good nudge they would be happy to.

Good suggestion. I looked into this as well and chatted with @pudo. I would also like to add direct credits back to relevant urls but have not got that yet (all i had in the csv originally was a link to api which is not that useful).

I think one could make a good argument here for being out of any DB rights given size of DB etc but it would be very nice to be clear. I also note gov.uk has a nice list and statistics.data.gov.uk had a good list of local councils and the like.

DB rights might not apply for a dozen rows, but WDTK is 5000 - surely that is covered.

There are also lists here: http:https://openlylocal.com/ and reference.data.gov.uk. I think basically we need some Refine work to consolidate these, and not just once, but be able to repeat it in the future. I'm having a think about a tool to do this.
