Thus, 芦Open Government data禄 must be understood to constitute a type of 芦information禄. The licence can, however, also be used for licensing of other types of information. As a consequence, the term 芦 Open Government data禄 has been used only in the title, while the term 芦Information禄 is used in the licence itself.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>In colloquial terms, the word 芦database禄 can also be used for certain types of catalogues which are protected as copyrighted works under Section 2 of the Copyright Act.
