There have been campaigns in the United Kingdom for its government to open up the large amounts of data it has for greater public usage without prohibitively large fees. Currently some UK public sector data are released under a Creative Commons compatible license. Crown Copyright has been a long standing copyright protection applied to official works, and at times artistic works, produced under royal or official supervision. ''The Guardian'' newspaper's Technology section began a "Free Our Data" campaign, calling for data gathered by authorities at public expense to be made freely available for reuse by individuals. In 2010 with the creation of the Open Government License and the Data.gov.uk site it appeared that the campaign had been mostly successful. On 12 January 2011 the Coalition Government revealed that it was planning to establish a Public Data Corporation (PDC). The goal being to make the UK Government data provided in a much more consistent fashion as well as freeing more data for public and commercial use. The idea of the PDC was later dropped in favour of grouping a number of government data providing organisations to form the Public Data Group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Public Data Group )〕 ==Open Government Licence== (詳細はtitle=What OGL covers )〕 Material marked in this way is available under a free, perpetual licence without restrictions beyond attribution.
