• “COI welcomes the opportunity to work with OPSI in developing experimental partnerships between user-generated sites and major departments. “

• “Subject to resources being available, OPSI is keen to work with the trading funds and HM Treasury to evaluate the potential impact of a more enabling stance for non- commercial re-use, to encourage experimentation and innovation.”
