How much may a public sector organisation charge for a licence to re-use information?
A. A public sector organisation may recover some of the costs initially incurred in collecting the data, even though this was part of the public sector organisations public task and charge to cover the costs of allowing re-use. This decision should not be based upon the perceived value of the information or the type of organisation requesting it. It should be based upon the way the information is being re-used. This does allow for discrimination between different types of re-use (e.g. between re-use for educational compared with commercial purposes) but not for different re-users.
