Is "open" data free as in speech, free as in beer, both, or something else?
You say "open data is free as in speech - not as in beer", but then you say "free actually means subsidised - because it is never free to collate". Those comments don't square with each other. If something is not free as in beer, as you contend, then it does not necessarily need to be subsidized. The subsidization is only required if that thing is free as in beer.
