Statistics Sweden Adopts CC0 License for Open Data
SCB ändrar licens på sina öppna data till CC0.
*Statistics Sweden, the national Swedish agency for statistics, changed 
the,**license for their open data* 
https://www.scb.se/vara-tjanster/oppna-data/*to**CC0* 
https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.sv*on July 1. 
The decision, which was taken on May 25, makes it much easier to reuse 
statistics from the agency. Among other things, it will be possible to 
upload it to **Wikidata* 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page*. Hopefully, this can 
inspire more agencies in Sweden to make the same decision, as well as 
agencies for statistics in other countries.*
More and more agencies in Sweden adopt CC0 as a license for their open 
data. The Swedish government has taken measures 
https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2019/05/regeringen-kraftsamlar-kring-artificiell-intelligens-och-oppna-data/ 
to increase the capability of Swedish government agencies to make open 
data accessible. The fact that an agency as central as Statistics Sweden 
makes it easier for others to reuse their data is important, in this 
context.
The difference between their previous license, CC BY, and CC0, is that 
attribution is required for the former, but not for the latter. In 
Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page, the 
structured, linked database run by the Wikimedia movement, sources are 
always attributed for larger uploads. Wikidata requires 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Licensing, however, CC0, in 
order to make it easier for others to come up with creative solutions by 
using the information in Wikidata.
We hope to see an increase in the reuse of Statistic Sweden’s
     statistics, by changing to CC0. I’m thinking specifically of such
     statistics and geodata that can easily be connected with other open
     data. We have, to give an example, invested a lot of time and effort
     in making statistics over smaller areas in municipalities freely
     available, as well as the digital divisions of areas that are needed
     to visualize the statistics together with maps. We also know that
     economic business indicators, and other statistics that are
     frequently updated – such as the number of deaths per week during
     the Covid pandemic – can be interesting to use.

     Statistics Sweden
Statistics Sweden holds massive amounts of qualitative and highly 
interesting data. Due to that, Wikimedia Sverige has wished for a long 
time for a changed license, something which agencies such as the Swedish 
Environmental Protection Agency and the Swedish Meteorological and 
Hydrological Institute have already done. We are very excited to see 
that they are finally changing the license, and are looking forward to 
working with their data on the Wikimedia platforms.
We have discussed licenses with Statistics Sweden for several years.
     We are very happy that they have now changed their license, to make
     it as easy as possible to reuse their data! We look forward to
     working with them, to include the very highly qualitative and
     interesting information from Statistics Sweden on the different
     Wikimedia platforms, in order to give everyone access to correct and
     updated information.
John Andersson, Executive Director at Wikimedia Sverige.
We hope, of course, that this decision will make other agencies, which 
have so far not done so, change their license too. The Swedish 
government and parliament have stressed, on several occasions, the 
importance of open data, and the Agency for Digital Government has 
recommended 
https://www.digg.se/utveckling-av-digital-forvaltning/oppna-och-delade-data/offentliga-aktorer/oppna-licenser-och-immaterialratt 
the use of CC0. When a central agency such as Statistics Sweden takes 
this important decision, it will hopefully pave the way for others to do 
the same.
In addition to this, there are not many statistical agencies worldwide 
that use CC0. We hope that this decision can also inspire other 
countries to take this step.
