This is indicated on the page “ Terms of Use of Site Materials ”, the link to which replaced the text “2009-2011 Administration of the Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region” (which, in principle, could not be done, the “” sign does not contradict free licenses). As noted in the news site a day earlier, a free license allows you to use information in Wikipedia and the blogosphere.

So, we see that Creative Commons continues the triumphant march around the country .

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