About the Open Government Licence
|
||
The Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office (HMSO) 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 Controller invites public sector bodies owning their own copyright and
|
||
database rights to permit the use of their Information under this licence.
|
||
|
||
The Controller of HMSO has authority to license Information subject to copyright
|
||
and database right owned by the Crown. The extent of the Controller’s offer
|
||
to license this Information under the terms of this licence is set out in
|
||
the UK Government Licensing Framework.
|
||
|
||
This is version 1.0 of the Open Government Licence. The Controller of HMSO
|
||
may, from time to time, issue new versions of the Open Government Licence.
|
||
However, you may continue to use Information licensed under this version should
|
||
you wish to do so.
|
||
These terms have been aligned to be interoperable with any Creative Commons
|
||
Attribution Licence, which covers copyright, and Open Data Commons Attribution
|
||
License, which covers database rights and applicable copyrights.
|
||

||
