    The content of the site of the governor of the Sverdlovsk region Alexander Misharin yesterday, June 18, 2011 became available under a free license Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported . This is indicated on the page " Terms of Use of Site Materials ", a link to which replaced the text "2009-2011 Administration of the Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region" (which, in principle, could be omitted, the "" sign does not contradict free licenses). As noted in the news on the site the day before, a free license allows you to use information on Wikipedia and the blogosphere.

    In this news published the day beforeit was first announced that the site was switching to a free license, but it was not indicated at all which license. It looked very ugly. Now the governor has finally decided on the license and corrected.

    UPD: Probably around June 20 the license was changed to a freer one - Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported

    So, we see that Creative Commons continues its victorious march across the country .

    On October 3, 2008, the website of the President of Russia (Attribution 3.0) was transferred to a free license, on May 17, 2010 - the official information portal of state authorities of the Republic of Bashkortostan (also Attribution 3.0), and on February 28, 2011 - the Internet portal of the Volgograd Region Administration (but not Attribution 3.0, and Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0). However, the state not only distributes its information under a free license, but also uses such information. So, on December 21, 2010, the Roskosmos geoportal was opened , which uses the OpenStreetMap card , available under the Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license.
