Copyright in the Water

ContextThe Act permits the Bureau to collect and distribute water data.

The Act places certain restrictions on the Bureau in distributing water data

Its collection though, is unhindered

For the time being, there may be copyright in some water information

More so where its information, not data

The licensing decision needs to be made by the rights holder (in this case, not the Bureau)

Least restrictive, Internet compatible licence should be applied to water data supplied to the Bureau

The Bureau indicated support for the Creative Commons Attribution Licence as a potential low to no cost approach

Benefits of Adopting

Creative Commons

Creative Commons is now sufficiently established as a de-facto international standard of licensing electronic information (eg. wikipedia, flickr);

Operates in accordance with Australian copyright law;

Requires attribution of the rights holder;

Is already in use by governments internationally, and by the ABS and Geoscience Australia;

Contains the strongest limitation of liability and warranty clauses;

Takes the form of a plain English deed (in numerous languages), a legal code;

Has a low to no cost of implementation;

May be used as a search parameter when looking for information licensed with Creative Commons on the Internet; and

Is one of the few licence schemes compatible with Web 2.0.

Implementing the Approach

to Licensing

Update the Bureau website information to include content on the objectives of the Water Act, Creative Commons Licence, FAQ’s, and information about how attribution will work, etc.

Copyright / Disclaimer to be amended

Bureau to write to each of the named parties seeking decision as to water licensing. A link to the Report will also be provided

If the named party decides to adopt the Creative Commons Licence, the Bureau will confirm their requested attribution (eg. © Commonwealth of Australia (Bureau of Meteorology) 2009)

If the named party decides against the Creative Commons Licence, the Bureau will provide the party’s preferred contact details on the website

Reuse of Water Information

Objectives of the Water Act

Objectives of the Water Act 2007The policy of the Water Act 2007 (the ‘Water Act’) is to make water information available for everyone's benefit, under conditions that permit the widest reuse of that information. The Water Act requires that the Bureau collect and disseminate water information in a manner accessible to the public. However, the Water Act also states that property rights (such as copyright) in the information collected by the Bureau remain the property of the supplier.

To ensure water information is available under conditions that permit its widest reuse, and that the suppliers copyright is protected, the Bureau of Meteorology has endorsed the use of the Creative Commons Attribution Australia 2.5 Licence (the ‘Creative Commons Licence’).

The Creative Commons Licence tells the community what they can to do with the water information, without having to contact the supplier directly for special permission. The licence provides the permission in advance. The Creative Commons Licence allows anyone to use the water information in a manner convenient to them, provided that they attribute the author. In the case of water information, the author will generally be the supplier, rather than the Bureau of Meteorology.

The following information is provided to assist water information suppliers to license their information under the Creative Commons Licence.

Reuse of Water Information

The Creative Commons Licence

• Provides a legally binding notice to the world about how your organisations information may be used• Will provide a consistent and transparent legal framework for all water information resources;• Contains strong limitation of liability and warranty clauses;• Is established as a de-facto international standard of licensing electronic information;• Is free and has a low to no cost of implementation; and• Requires attribution of the author of the information

Creative Commons licences are used extensively across the Internet by private individuals, companies and governments. For example, Wikipedia and Flickr both use Creative Commons Licences. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has licensed the majority of the information on its website under the Creative Commons Licence. GeoScience Australia has licensed a number of datasets, including its Australian Mines Atlas and MODIS data under the Creative Commons Licence.

Is your water information licensed? How will the community know about the terms and conditions you have placed on your information? Why not use the Creative Commons Licence! The Bureau of Meteorology has endorsed the use of the Creative Commons Licence for water information because it:

The Creative Commons Licence allows the community to share (copy and distribute) and remix (adapt) your organisations information, on the proviso that they attribute your organisation as the author, but not in a way that suggests that they endorse you or use your work. The Licence also makes it clear that these conditions can be waived if they get special permission from your organisation. Also, because the Licences are compatible with Australian copyright law, none of the community’s statutory rights, such as their right to fair dealing are affected (eg. they may use your information for private study without your organisations permission). The Creative Commons Licence is available in both plain English text and a full legal code. Both the text and the code will be linked to the Bureau of Meteorology website under the requirements of the Licence

What Can the Community Do with My Organisations Information under the Creative Commons Licence?

How Does the Bureau of Meteorology Attribute Water Information Suppliers and their use of the Creative Commons Licence?The Bureau of Meteorology wants to ensure that water information suppliers are correctly attributed for their information. The Australian Water Resources Information System (AWRIS) is being designed to correctly capture and publish the attribution details of organisations that provide water information, in addition to their Creative Commons Licence status (ie, whether they have agreed to license their information under the Creative Commons Licence). Your organisation simply needs to advise the Bureau of how it would like to be attributed (for example: © State of Queensland (Department of Environment and Resource Management) 2009). The Bureau will ensure that your organisations water information is correctly and prominently associated with Creative Commons Licence on the website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Creative Commons Licence cost anything? Is there a yearly fee?A: No. The Creative Commons Licence is free. All you have to do is advise the Bureau of Meteorology that you would like to apply the Creative Commons Licence to your water information.

Q: What if I don’t wish to use the Creative Commons Licence and the Bureau of Meteorology publishes my water information?A: The Bureau is required by law to publish your water information. If you choose not to use the Creative Commons Licence, the Bureau will still attribute your organisation as the source of the information. It will also provide your organisations contact details so that the community may enquire with your organisation about the terms and conditions under which they may use the information.

Q: Is the Creative Commons Licence legal in Australia?A: Yes. The Creative Commons Licence was made compatible with Australian copyright law in 2005. It is also compatible with similar Creative Commons Licences in many other countries.

Q: There are other Creative Commons licences. Why has the Bureau of Meteorology only endorsed the Creative Commons Attribution Australia 2.5 Licence?A: There are 6 Creative Commons Australia licences that are compatible with Australian copyright law. However, each of the remaining licences, to some extent, restricts the reuse of information. The Bureau has determined that the Creative Commons Attribution Australia 2.5 Licence meets the desired policy objectives of the Water Act 2007.

Q: The Bureau of Meteorology has a restrictive copyright statement covering the majority of its website, why has it chosen to use a Creative Commons licence for water information only?A: The Bureau of Meteorology has endorsed the Creative Commons Licence for use with water information because it permits the broadest reuse of water information, which meets the policy objectives of the Water Act 2007. The Bureau is currently reviewing its copyright statement covering other information on its website.

If the information above has answered your questions about the Creative Commons Licence, and if you would like to license your data under the Creative Commons Licence now, click here.

How do I inform the Bureau that I wish to Licence My Water Information Under the Creative Commons Licence?

Q: Why can’t the Bureau of Meteorology just licence my information under Creative Commons?A: The Creative Commons Licence operates on the basis that your organisations copyright exists in your organisations water information. The Water Act 2007 provides that ownership of property rights (such as copyright) in the water information remain with the supplier. Therefore, only your organisation can apply, or notify the Bureau of its desire to apply, the Creative Commons Licence to its water information.

Q: Whom can I contact If I have further questions about the use of the Creative Commons licence for my water information?A: The Bureau of Meteorology has also endorsed a Recommended Practice Report on the Licensing of Water Information. You can download the report here. If you have further questions about Creative Commons and its application to water information, please send an email to: askushow@bom.gov.au.
