Wow, this is good government. I can nitpick the API details, but this is one giant leap in the right direction.
Under US law, the federal government can't claim copyright on works produced via tax dollars (makes sense). Since the feds can't require us to provide attribution for all this helpful data, how do we as a community advocate for more open data like this?
