Database Directive

EU directive of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, which created a separate 'sui generis' right for database makers alongside copyright; it is why open data licences such as ODbL and CC0 also deal with database rights. [?]

No relations yet.

• description: The link to ODbL and CC0 is a summary: CC0 waives database rights explicitly; the Directive's role in their design is not sourced here.
