WIKIMEDIA PANEL:
"Government works in the public domain - All your tax-paid content are belong to us"

• What does a proper GOV-PD definition include, what are the benefits and risks associated with a shift in copyright policy, what are alternative approaches to make government works accessible and usable to the public? We are looking into the mechanisms of "GOV-PD" - public domain works created by the government - and discuss the implications of rules that still prevent tax payers to use the works they already paid for.
