Recital 13
(13) In relation to any re-use that is made of the document, public sector bodies may, where practicable, impose conditions on the re-user, such as acknowledgment of source. Any licences for the re-use of public sector information should in any case place as few restrictions on re-use as possible. Open licences available online, which grant wider re-use rights without technological, financial or geographical limitations and relying on open data formats, mayshould also play an important role in this respect. Therefore, Member States should encourage the use of open government licences and licensing of PSI metadata should follow licensing standards as established by e.g. Europeana.
