Data licenses in practice

You only need to look to some of the world's biggest websites such as wikipedia, flickr and scribd to see data licences in practice.

If you're looking for an example in the agricultural sector, the Innovative Solutions for Decision Agriculture Soil platform has launched soil information maps at a resolution of 30 meters, encompassing 24 billion unique locations across Africa.

All data is easily accessible through an easy to use and well documented API and all available under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) licence.
