+Definitions
+
+In this licence, the terms below have the following meanings:
+
+'Information' means information protected by copyright or by database right
+(for example, literary and artistic works, content, data and source code)
+offered for use under the terms of this licence.
+
+'Information Provider' means the person or organisation providing the Information
+under this licence.
+
+'Licensor' means any Information Provider who has the authority to offer Information
+under the terms of this licence. It includes the Controller of Her Majesty's
+Stationery Office, who has the authority to offer Information subject to Crown
+copyright and Crown database rights, and Information subject to copyright
+and database rights which have been assigned to or acquired by the Crown,
+under the terms of this licence.
+
+'Use' means doing any act which is restricted by copyright or database right,

+limitation distributing, copying, adapting, modifying as may be technically
+necessary to use it in a different mode or format.
+
+'You' means the natural or legal person, or body of persons corporate or incorporate,
+acquiring rights under this licence.
+
+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 on
+The National Archives website.
+
+This is version 2.0 of the Open Government Licence. The Controller of HMSO
+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 OGLv2.0 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.
