Value Added Licence
In line with government policy it has been decided to allow most information produced by government departments and agencies to be re-used free of charge. Therefore, with effect from 1 December 2009 OPSI will no longer be issuing any Value Added Licences. Most information that was previously regarded as value added can now be re-used under the PSI Click-Use Licence.
The exceptions to this are information and data produced by those government departments, agencies and trading funds that license Crown copyright information they originate under a delegation of authority granted by the Controller of HMSO. See the Information Fair Trader Scheme (IFTS) Members page for details of these organisations.
We are also in discussions with the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and Office for National Statistics (ONS) about the re-use of some of their charged publications. We will clarify the situation as soon as possible. In the meantime if you wish to re-use any DCLG or ONS priced publications please email us at licensing@opsi.gsi.gov.uk.
