Welcome to the GILF website

The Government Information Licensing Framework (GILF) makes it easy for people who use public sector information (PSI) to understand the rights of use associated with PSI material.

GILF comprises a simple open content licensing framework, designed to assist in the management of government intellectual property, and encourage the use of PSI through increased availability and accessibility.

GILF encourages custodians to think more broadly about the potential users of PSI and contains guidelines for agencies preparing information for publication or distribution. In turn, it enables customers to understand how they can re-use PSI in a legally appropriate way.
