Adopted a law on open data

The law had a difficult fate which can be traced here http://asozd2.duma.gov.ru/main.nsf/(Spravka)?OpenAgent&RN=181992-6

This, of course, is not open data.
In any case, the Government’s orders will soon follow, and we have good chances that by the end of 2013 there will be much more open data.
On this law, everything, of course, does not end there. Both we and I will personally seek to publish data under open licenses.
Should the law include requirements for the freedom and free access to open data?
