Looking at @transportapi (https://developer.transportapi.com ) & wondering just what about it is ‘open’. Seems closed/proprietary. Thoughts, @ukodi?
@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 -
@aral@transportapi@MadProf@frabcus versus http://theodi.org/guides/what-open-data … - we are talking at x-purposes. Data != Services. They *consume* OD. -
@agentGav@aral it's true, means@transportapi is no more open than Google Maps. Marketing should refelect it. Am sure customers won't mind!

@aral@MadProf@frabcus@transportapi disagree: OD is *licensing* on the *data* - as distinct from on the software/service/etc#nounsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
