anyone is free to use, reuse, and
redistribute it — subject only, at most,
to the requirement to attribute and/or
share-alike.”

6. Science is based on building on,
reusing and openly criticising the
published body of scientific
knowledge.
For science to effectively function,
and for society to reap the full
benefits from scientific endeavours, it
is crucial that science data be made
open.
