The Open Government Licence (OGL) is a copyright licence for crown copyright works published by the UK government. Other UK public sector bodies may apply it to their publications. It was developed and is maintained by The National Archives. It is compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence.
The OGL is the default licence for crown copyright works.[1] Local councils are also expected to licence their work under the OGL under the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015. However, many councils have not yet done so.[2]
