Looking at @transportapi (https://developer.transportapi.com ) & wondering just what about it is ‘open’. Seems closed/proprietary. Thoughts, @ukodi?

@aral@MadProf@frabcus@transportapi using "free/libre" has no utility here, since open *data* is, by definition freely licensed (e.g. OGL)4 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@agentGav Free/libre is about _owndership_ — entirely relevant — access to data is not ownership of data. +@MadProf @frabcus @transportapi
