Looking at @transportapi (https://developer.transportapi.com ) & wondering just what about it is ‘open’. Seems closed/proprietary. Thoughts, @ukodi?
@MadProf Ah, not a great fan of churches either. Shame. Good to know, though, thanks. +@frabcus @transportapi @UKODI @agentGav

@agentGav I fail to see how calling closed system w proprietary API ‘open’ is not redefining the word. +@MadProf@frabcus@transportapi -
@aral@MadProf@frabcus@transportapi this conversation needs more nouns. "open" isn't a thing. -
@agentGav@MadProf@frabcus@transportapi That’s definitely the feeling I’m getting also :) Going to start using free/libre for precision. -
@aral@MadProf@frabcus@transportapi using "free/libre" has no utility here, since open *data* is, by definition freely licensed (e.g. OGL) -
@agentGav This license (https://developer.transportapi.com/terms ) is not open. It merely allows use via restrictive terms. +@MadProf@frabcus@transportapi -
@aral@MadProf@frabcus@transportapi I never said that transportAPI are *publishing* open data. You are talking about a different thing. -
@agentGav On the@transportapi site: ‘Britain’s first comprehensive open platform’. That’s what I have an issue with. +@MadProf@frabcus - 2 more replies
