        cannot do with their creations. DRM can stop app users from taking screenshots of the app's outputs or internal
        content.

        8.6 Open Data

        Open data is information that anyone can access, use, and share,
        possibly with the requirement that the source of the data be cited.
        Open data has the following characteristics:
        •  It is accessible in a user-friendly and adaptable format.

        •  The data must be freely available for download via the internet.
        •  The data must be re-usable and redistributable.
        Uses of open data: As many organisations share and collaborate on diverse datasets, open data allows data to be
        interoperable, which not only boosts communication but also expands possibilities for future research. Open data
        enables  individuals,  businesses,  and  governments  to  benefit  the  environment,  the  economy,  and  society.  Some
        examples of open-data applications are:

        •  It creates chances for businesses to connect with customers.
        •  It promotes policy and service transparency between the government and citizens.
        •  It aids in the development of technology, possibly leading to early detection of natural disasters and their notification
           to the affected people.

        be used, as well as limitations on liability,  disclaimers, and any warranties that apply.
