Redistribution

@ihenshaw 8 
Reuse 
The license must allow for modifications and 
derivative works and must allow them to be 
distributed under the terms of the original work.
Absence of Technological Restriction 
The work must be provided in such a form that 
there are no technological obstacles to the 
performance of the above activities (Access, 
Redistribution and Reuse). This can be achieved 
by the provision of the work in an open data 
format, i.e. one whose specification is publicly 
and freely available and which places no 
restrictions monetary or otherwise upon its use.

redistribution and re-use the attribution of the

requiring attribution should accompany the work.

No Discrimination 
 Against Persons or Groups 
– The license must not discriminate against any 
person or group of persons. 
 Against Fields of Endeavor 
– The license must not restrict anyone from making 
use of the work in a specific field of endeavor. For 
example, it may not restrict the work from being 
used in a business, or from being used for genetic 
research.
Distribution of License 
The rights attached to the work must apply to all 
to whom it is redistributed without the need for 
execution of an additional license by those

Package 
The rights attached to the work must not depend 
on the work being part of a particular package. If 
the work is extracted from that package and 
used or distributed within the terms of the work’s 
license, all parties to whom the work is 
redistributed should have the same rights as 
those that are granted in conjunction with the 
original package.
License Must Not Restrict the 
Distribution of Other Works 
The license must not place restrictions on other 
works that are distributed along with the licensed 
work. For example, the license must not insist 
that all other works distributed on the same
