this licence (the 'Information') indicates your acceptance of the terms and
conditions below.

The Licensor grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive
licence to use the Information subject to the conditions below.

any other copyright or database right exceptions and limitations.

You are free to:

If you are using Information from several Information Providers and listing

Licensor endorse you or your use of the Information.

No warranty

excludes all representations, warranties, obligations and liabilities in relation

Definitions

In this licence, the terms below have the following meanings:

(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.

'Licensor' means any Information Provider which has the authority to offer

who has the authority to offer Information subject to Crown copyright and
Crown database rights and Information subject to copyright and database right
that has been assigned to or acquired by the Crown, under the terms of this
licence.

limitation distributing, copying, adapting, modifying as may be technically
necessary to use it in a different mode or format.

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.
