2.D.11) Use licensing to allow public use of government-created data while protecting agency interests

Government agencies should take steps to protect the public interest when releasing or licensing data. Government information should be available to the public for review, and be available for unencumbered private or noncommercial derivative uses. However, agencies may restrict commercial use of data or charge fees to help recover the cost of data creation.

 

11.a    The Commonwealth should review all data sharing agreements and licenses

11.b    The Commonwealth should establish best practices for licensing government data

11.c    The Commonwealth should claim the specific copyright license on government data, reports, and other works and include citation guidelines
