+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.
+

+
+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.
