The Geo Shared concept is based upon the concept of creative commons. The Creative Commons concept (CC) offers standard licences that give holders of intellectual property rights the possibility of working whilst retaining their copy right, (through the internet) of distributing their work in an easily accessible way and of making the data available for re-use by others. Instead of an “all rights reserved” approach, they offer a “some rights reserved” licence system.


A prior condition imposed by Creative Commons for the use of its licenses is that information to which the licence is related is available free of charge. This restriction has led to the development of the geo Shared license that offers the possibility of indicating that a payment must be made for data or services used.


Geo Shared is based upon four standard licenses’ terms’ for the license providers to make their works available. As well as containing a standard clause about mandatory designation that is mandatory for each license, the GS licenses also each contain one or more of the following terms:


- Written permission is required from the licensor for making the information and/or any derived products available to third parties; - The license is available for a limited period; - Compensation for the license is required.



Explanation of symbols:

<Naamsvermelding. The licensor grants others the right to copy, distribute, show and to import and export the work. In exchange the licensees must mention the name of the holder of the intellectual property rights.
No value added products. Data and/or derived products may only be made available to third parties after explicit prior permission has been granted by the licensor.

compensation required. For this license a payment or royalty has to be paid.
