How do you use it?
•A preliminary governance document identifying roles and responsibilities of users and contributors is in development.
•We are considering the use of the NASA Open Source Licensing Agreement Version 1.3 (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/nasa1.3.php) to govern disposition of translating intellectual capital into intellectual property. We are also looking into other licenses for use.  An analysis will be forthcoming.

The work on developing the portal has just recently been awarded and is moving forward.  One of the key next steps is to invite users to discuss their needs.  We recognize that some of the user needs will be based on how the portal is governed and what rights are assigned to developers for intellectual property.  At this time, we are just considering the governance and we’ve looked at a number of licenses and how they have been used by other agencies.  For now, we believe that the NASA open source license is probably one that we will tailor for our purposes – your review and comment back to us on that license is useful to us; however, we also believe that one or more licenses may govern the portal based on different uses of the source code and data sets.  This analysis is just starting and, when available in a couple of months, will be posted for comment.
