Good news on the Copyright front
01 October 2010
The Government has issued a press release announcing the launch of new free licensing arrangements for most government information. The new licence replaces the OPSI ‘click-use’ licence, and does not require any application or registration.
The licence is designed so that it can apply not only to Crown copyright works but also to works created by all public sector bodies including local authorities.
Principal exceptions to the coverage of the licence are commercially valuable works created by the government trading funds, such as Ordinance Survey, HM Land Registry, the Met Office and the UK Hydrographic Office.
Other exemptions such as Personal data, Copyright and Freedom of Information protected materials are listed in the document via the link below.
For any further information or advice on this or other Copyright licences, please do not hesitate to contact Kate Vasili, Copyright Officer.
