==What is Open?==
‘Open Knowledge’ and 'Open Standards' are any content, information or data that people are free to use, re-use and redistribute — without any legal, technological or social restriction[http://okfn.org ¹].</div>
==Our Definition of Open==
Providing a clear definition of Openness ensures that you understand what you can and cannot do with the content of {{OR}}. Knowledge is open if anyone is free to access, use, modify, and share it — subject to measures that preserve provenance and openness:
* Open Knowledge is '''accessible''' to everyone '''free of charge'''<br />(i.e. no discrimination between users, and no payment or other considerations are required as a condition of use of the knowledge)
* Open Knowledge is published in '''all its details'''<br />(i.e. all aspects are transparent and documented, and access to the documentation is free)
* Open Knowledge is '''developed''' by volunteers through '''due process'''<br />(i.e. decisions are made with equity and fairness among participants. Processes are collective, transparent and balanced)
* Open Knowledge permits '''unlimited usage''' and '''redistribution''' when attributions are made<br />(i.e. there are no limitations on using, publishing and integrating the content in commercial offerings as long as you name {{OR}} as the original source of the knowledge)

==Why Open?==
Sharing knowledge has many benefits, both commercially and personally. By applying the principles, practices and processes of Openness our work products have the following benefits:
* Transparency and Interoperability. {{OR}} publishes all details to the general public and enables widespread adoption in a wide variety of products and services.
* Freedom to participate. {{OR}} is developed using a collaborative, balanced and consensus-based process. {{OR}} sources its content solely from volunteer contributions. All decisions to adopt, adapt or reject content are consensus-based and published on the {{OD}} website.
* Irrevocable License. {{OR}} is open and will always remain open, even if another organization in the future adopts our content and makes a derivative reference proprietary, which they should not; the original {{OR}} will remain open.
{{OR}} welcomes volunteers from all industries, experience levels and domains. Interested to contribute to {{OR}}? [[Contact]] us.
