About the Open Government Licence
|
|
|
|
The National Archives has developed this licence as a tool to enable Information
|
|
Providers in the public sector to license the use and re-use of their Information
|
|
under a common open licence. The National Archives invites public sector bodies
|
|
owning their own copyright and database rights to permit the use of their
|
|
Information under this licence.
|
|
|
|
The Keeper of the Public Records has authority to license Information subject
|
|
to copyright and database right owned by the Crown. The extent of the offer
|
|
to license this Information under the terms of this licence is set out in
|
|
the UK Government Licensing Framework.
|
|
|
|
This is version 3.0 of the Open Government Licence. The National Archives
|
|
may, from time to time, issue new versions of the Open Government Licence.
|
|
If you are already using Information under a previous version of the Open
|
|
Government Licence, the terms of that licence will continue to apply.
|
|
|
|
These terms are compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0
|
|
and the Open Data Commons Attribution License, both of which license copyright
|
|
and database rights. This means that when the Information is adapted and licensed
|
|
under either of those licences, you automatically satisfy the conditions of
|
|
the OGL when you comply with the other licence. The OGLv3.0 is Open Definition
|
|
compliant.
|
|
|
|
Further context, best practice and guidance can be found in the UK Government
|
|
Licensing Framework section on The National Archives website.
