As noted, the data within Library Technology Guides is not offered via an open data license, but I do provide extensive data services to anyone interested without cost.

I can imagine some reasons why one would not want to explicitly offer data under an open license: - Fear that access to the data will become a financial burden (hosting/data limits). - Unwillingness to develop a method of access to the data. - Unwillingness to make a commitment to maintaining the data and/or API in the future. - Desire to reserve the right to monetize access to the data in the future. Some of those concerns can be mitigated by cooperation.

Owen -- you're "on target", I might go one step further and say that "all" of those concerns, not just "some", can be cooperatively mitigated. Marshall Breeding has done, and continues to do, a remarkable job and is very obviously reaching out to the Koha community. Let's not "look a gift horse in the mouth." Best -- Paul
