While it's great that Murray Cox has made the data 'Public Domain' I'm sure AirBnB would probably have a different view as to whether he is in a position to decide such a license upon scraped data from the AirBnB site. http://insideairbnb.com/get-the-data.html http://insideairbnb.com/get-the-data.html Including property reviews (written by 3rd parties) as a Public Domain data-set seems pretty clear-cut inappropriate - in the same way that it's no ok or legal to crawl Yelp.com, compile a data set of reviews and deem them 'Public Domain' for anyone to use a they see fit. I mention all of this because this kind of abuse of the concept of Public Domain harms its reputation and also puts fellow community members in difficulty if they go to incorporate this "Public Domain" dataset and later run into legal issues with the original rights holder. I assume most HN users are firm supporters in the true concept of "Public Domain" and thus I hope the community will call out improper and harmful miss-interpretation of the concept.
