About the Open Government Licence

The Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) has developed this

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 in
the UK Government Licensing Framework.

This is version 1.0 of the Open Government Licence. The Controller of HMSO
may, from time to time, issue new versions of the Open Government Licence.
However, you may continue to use Information licensed under this version should
you wish to do so.

These terms have been aligned to be interoperable with any Creative Commons
Attribution Licence, which covers copyright, and Open Data Commons Attribution
License, which covers database rights and applicable copyrights.

Licensing Framework section on The National Archives website.
