2. Licence
|
|
|
|
The licensee, subject to the limitations that follow from this licence, may
|
|
use the information for any purpose and in all contexts, by:
|
|
|
|
* copying the information and distributing the information to others,
|
|
|
|
* modifying the information and/or combining the information with other information,
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
* copying and distributing such changed or combined information.
|
|
|
|
* This is a non-exclusive, free, perpetual and worldwide licence. The information
|
|
may be used in any medium and format known today and/or which will become
|
|
known in the future. The Licensee shall not sub-license or transfer this licence.
|
|
|
|
3. Exemptions
|
|
|
|
The licence does not apply to and therefore does not grant a right to use:
|
|
|
|
* information which contains personal data covered by the Norwegian Personal
|
|
Data Act unless there is a legitimate basis for the disclosure and further
|
|
processing of the personal data
|
|
|
|
* information distributed in violation of a statutory obligation to observe
|
|
confidentiality
|
|
|
|
* information excluded from public disclosure pursuant to law, including information
|
|
deemed sensitive under the Norwegian National Security Act
|
|
|
|
* information subject to third party rights which the licensor is not authorised
|
|
to license to the licensee
|
|
|
|
* information protected by intellectual property rights other than copyright
|
|
and neighbouring rights in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Norwegian Copyright
|
|
Act, such as trademarks, patents and design rights, but this does not entail
|
|
an impediment to use information where the licensor's logo has been permanently
|
|
integrated into the information or to attribute the origin of the information
|
|
in accordance with the article below relating to attribution.
|
|
|
|
If the licensor has made available information not covered by the licence
|
|
according to the above list, the licensee must cease all use of the information
|
|
under the licence, and erase the information as soon as he or she becomes
|
|
aware of or should have understood that the information is not covered by
|
|
the licence.
|
|
|
|
4. Effects of breach of the licence
|
|
|
|
The licence is subject to the licensee's compliance with the terms and conditions
|
|
of this licence. In the event that the licensee commits a breach of this licence,
|
|
this will entail that the licensee's right to use the information will be
|
|
revoked immediately without further notice. In case of such a breach, the
|
|
licensee must immediately and without further notice take measures to cause
|
|
the infringement to end. Because the right to use the information has been
|
|
terminated, the licensee must cease all use of the information by virtue of
|
|
the licence.
|
|
|
|
5. Attribution
|
|
|
|
The licensee shall attribute the licensor as specified by the licensor and
|
|
include a reference to this licence. To the extent practically possible, the
|
|
licensee shall provide a link to both this licence and the source of the information.
|
|
|
|
If the licensor has not specified how attributions shall be made, the licensee
|
|
shall normally state the following: «Contains data under the Norwegian licence
|
|
for Open Government data (NLOD) distributed by [name of licensor]».
|
|
|
|
If the licensor has specified that the information shall only be available
|
|
under a specific version of this licence, cf. Section 10, the licensee shall
|
|
also state this.
|
|
|
|
If the information has been changed, the licensee must clearly indicate that
|
|
changes have been made by the licensee.
|
|
|
|
6. Proper use
|
|
|
|
The licensee shall not use the information in a manner that appears misleading
|
|
nor present the information in a distorted or incorrect manner.
|
|
|
|
Neither the licensor's nor other contributors' names or trademarks must be
|
|
used to support, recommend or market the licensee or any products or services
|
|
using the information.
|
|
|
|
7. Disclaimer of liability
|
|
|
|
The information is licensed «as is». The information may contain errors and
|
|
omissions. The licensor provides no warranties, including relating to the
|
|
content and relevance of the information.
|
|
|
|
The licensor disclaims any liability for errors and defects associated with
|
|
the information to the maximum extent permitted by law.
|
|
|
|
The licensor shall not be liable for direct or indirect losses as a result
|
|
of use of the information or in connection with copying or further distribution
|
|
of the information.
|
|
|
|
8. Guarantees regarding data quality and accessibility
|
|
|
|
This licence does not prevent the licensor from issuing supplementary statements
|
|
regarding expected or intended data quality and accessibility. Such statements
|
|
shall be regarded as indicative in nature and not binding on the part of the
|
|
licensor. The disclaimers in Section 7 also apply in full for such indicative
|
|
statements. Based on separate agreement, the licensor may provide guarantees
|
|
and distribute the information on terms and conditions different from those
|
|
set forth in this licence.
|
|
|
|
9. Licence compatibility
|
|
|
|
If the licensee is to distribute an adapted or combined work based on information
|
|
covered by this licence and some other work licensed under a licence compatible
|
|
by contract, such distribution may be based on an appropriate licence compatible
|
|
by contract, cf. the list below.
|
|
|
|
A licence compatible by contract shall mean the following licences:
|
|
|
|
* for all information: Open Government Licence (version 1.0),
|
|
|
|
* for those parts of the information which do not constitute databases: Creative
|
|
Commons Attribution Licence (generic version 1.0, 2.0, 2.5 and unported version
|
|
3.0) and Creative Commons Navngivelse 3.0 Norge,
|
|
|
|
* for those parts of the information which constitute databases: Open Data
|
|
Commons Attribution License (version 1.0).
|
|
|
|
This provision does not prevent other licences from being compatible with
|
|
this licence based on their content.
|
|
|
|
10. New versions of the licence
|
|
|
|
The licensee may choose to use the information covered by this licence under
|
|
any new versions of the Norwegian licence for Open Government data (NLOD)
|
|
issued by the responsible ministry (currently the Ministry of Government Administration,
|
|
Reform and Church Affairs) when these versions are final and official, unless
|
|
the licensor when making the information available under this licence specifically
|
|
has stated that solely version 1.0 of this licence may be used.
|
|
|
|
11. Governing law and legal venue
|
|
|
|
This licence, including its formation, and any disputes and claims arising
|
|
in connection with or relating to this licence, shall be regulated by Norwegian
|
|
law. The legal venue shall be the licensor's ordinary legal venue. The licensor
|
|
may, with regard to intellectual proprietary rights, choose to pursue a claim
|
|
at other competent legal venues and/or based on the laws of the country where
|
|
the intellectual property rights are sought enforced.
