Exceptions to Marginal Cost Pricing
The UK Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) has announced on the PerSpectIves blog that as of the 1st December 2009 the OPSI no longer licenses any content that involves payments.
The announcement states:
“We can now announce that with effect from 1 December 2009 we are no longer licensing any content that involves payments. Most information that was previously regarded as value added and licensed under the Value Added Click-Use Licence 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 www.opsi.gov.uk/ifts/ifts-members for a list 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 anyone wanting to re-use any DCLG or ONS priced publications should contact us directly.”
