Broadly speaking, any data collected with the use of public funds cannot be restricted for use from any member of the public.
Census website says :"Material on this site subject to copyright unless otherwise indicated."I am particularly curious on how we would be able to use data from census website. I used 2001 census data as input data for my Indian villages pilot project on en.wiki. I was waiting for 2011 census data for further work which would be more updated and correct information. But the site says it is still copyrighted.Any legal experts?-TCOn Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 8:51 PM, Naveen Francis <naveenpf@gmail.com> wrote:
