8. Open data is data that is made available by organisations, businesses and
individuals for anyone to access, use and share.
Open data has to have a licence that says it is open data. Without a licence, the data can’t be reused.

If you are doing this you are george bush, what do you think of that black and white. in 2016 if you aren’t making systems that intergrate with others, you are letting your customers down, companies like ours, matts and dara’s will each your lunch money. Please don’t.
