Actually it's probably easier to get this data disseminated in the
corporate world if there is a permissive license attached to it as
opposed to none at all.<br>
<br>
In the corporate world, the lawyers (here protecting the assets of the
shareholders) will want to have proof positive that corporation X has
the rights to distribute data or code Y and the corporation will not be
subject to claims. So far, the easiest way to accomplish this is to
explicitly have terms associated with work. <br>
<br>
I've seen this in about every company, big and small, that I have dealt
with so I would not be surprised it's a widespread issue. YMMV<br>
<br>
(IANAL so of course, the above is a personal opinion on my part. )<br>
