Hello,
In response, RadioDNS has started work on a Fair Use Policy document, and we are circulating this first draft for comments.
This document is not intended to be a licence or a contract document, but we would expect that the licences that broadcasters offer manufacturers would not contradict the principles laid out in the Fair Use Policy.
UPDATE:
Since the original distribution, we're received a number of comments directly to the project office (
feed...@radiodns.org).
Two clarifications will be made for the next version:
* The Fair Use Policy doesn't restrict use of metadata and content in any way, but an end-user should probably check uses not described in the Fair Use Policy.
* The Fair Use Policy doesn't enforce licensing or use of client identification keys. It just says that *if* a manufacturer would like to get a licence or a client identification key, they can be reasonably confident a broadcaster will give them one.
Best regards
Nick Piggott
Project Director
