Remixes: Creative uses of free government information | Free Government Information (FGI)

Remixes: Creative uses of free government information | Free Government Information (FGI): "Remixes: Creative uses of free government information

One of the many benefits of no-fee public access to basic government information is that individuals and groups can take gov't info from many sources and create something new. Call it a 'remix' of government information. Sometimes this 'remix' is made freely available, and other times fees are charged. As long as the underlying basic gov't info isn't trapped by false claims of vendor ownership, FGI doesn't have a problem with that.

This page will highlight some of the free 'remixes' of existing free government information done by individuals and other groups. If you know of a qualifying project, either use the 'talk to us' link below, or post a comment."
