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. |
