Councils told to adopt 'click use' licences 30/10/08
“Britain's local councils - custodians of vast amounts of electronic data about our lives and local environments - have received a ticking off for their tardiness in freeing data.

The task force also urges councils to waive powers to charge fees.” [Guardian]
