There's a category at Category:Open Government Licence files for local files licenced under the OGL; I'm not sure whether it should be linked to from the article anywhere though. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 10:02, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I say keep it; but it would be good if {{Commons category}} (or a fork) could say "Wikimedia Commons has media released under OGL" instead of "Wikimedia Commons has media related to OGL". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:10, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Other jurisdiction OGLs

There are other Open Government Licen[cs]es, several of which are modifications of the UK ones this article is about. Some are listed at http://opendefinition.org/licenses/#other-conformant-licenses ... this might be worth noting in the article if reliable sources can be found. https://theodi.org/blog/the-proliferation-of-open-government-licences is a blog post on the topic.
