Hi everyone,
This is a courtesy note to indicate that Linux Australia Council
considered this Grant Application at Council Meeting 13th April.
We discussed this Grant Application, but we are undecided on whether to
grant it, and would like to seek further information around the dataset
licensing and platform licensing, specifically the actual licenses that
will be applied.
Rowland, are you able to indicate this information?
Kind regards,
Kathy
