Open Data Licence
The
Open Government Licence is designed to provide public bodies across
Canada with a consistent means of licensing their information. This
consistency reduces barriers to publication, and avoids the cost of
each public body developing its own licence. Perhaps most important
is – with wider adoption of the licence – people are more likely
to combine information from different public bodies because the
license terms are compatible.
