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, +whether in the original medium or in any other medium, and includes without +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. |
