Open Government Licence
A family of bespoke government deeds — UK, Canada, and city-level adaptations. Usually attribution-only in substance, but each is its own document, which is the cost of a bespoke licence.
How this list is decided. Membership is not a field an editor set: it is every published entry whose own text names Open Government Licence, matched at build time, with the sentence printed under each row so you can judge the match yourself. 6 entries in 5 cities.
✔ Every published entry is checked against the public sources it cites before publication.
Where it appears in the atlas
The council's open data page states that its open data is released under the Open Government Licence 3.0.
Licences are not set catalogue-wide: the GLA says conditions vary for each data package, and sampled datasets carry Open Government Licence v2 or no licence title at all.
405 datasets in the catalogue on 26 July 2026, of which 403 carry Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 and 2 carry Canada's Open Government Licence 2.0 — no dataset is published without a named licence.
Historical trip data is published by the city itself under the Open Government Licence — Toronto, which permits commercial reuse, although the ridership dataset now carries a 'Retired' label.
Data is offered under the Open Government Licence – Toronto, a bespoke deed adapted from Ontario's OGL 1.0 that permits commercial reuse in perpetuity if reusers print 'Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Toronto.'
Later rebuilt on the Opendatasoft platform, the portal now publishes city datasets — permits, business licences, election results — under the Open Government Licence – Vancouver.
