When you use the data, it is important to mention the document’s source and follow any copyleft license requirements.

What is copyleft?

A copyleft licence allows anyone to freely copy, modify and distribute intellectual property (IP) under the terms stated.

Where a copyright licence restricts the freedom to copy, modify, and distribute IP, a copyleft licence provides this freed.
