URL: https://www.govdata.de/daten/-/details/bundeshaushalt-2013 Format: xls It has to be said that the granularity of the data is not satisfying. The budget data is available as XLS in bulk and free to use as an "amtliches Werk" according to §5 Abs 1. UrhG |

16 | National Statistics |

URL: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Publikationen/Thematisch/ThematischeVeroeffentlichungen.html Format: XLS, CSV, HTML, PDF The national statistics office publishes statistics at https://www.destatis.de/DE/Publikationen/Publikationen.html and statistical data at https://www-genesis.destatis.de/genesis/online/data It is available in in XLS offer and formats, however the quality of the machine readable data is abysmal. The general Copyright statement is essentially saying that you can reuse the data provided attribution is given, but you are not allowed to change or manipulate the information: "© Statistisches Bundesamt, Wiesbaden 2013. Sie können Informationen speichern, (auch auszugsweise) mit Quellenangabe weitergeben, vervielfältigen und verbreiten sowie Links zur Homepage des Statistischen Bundesamtes legen. Die Informationen dürfen im Übrigen nicht verändert oder verfälscht werden." which makes it not openly licensed. At http://www.govdata.de the same data is available under the German "Datenlizenz Deutschland" which has been revied and considered not comliant with the Open Definition in Version 1.0. A process to address these issues are underway with version 2.0 of the "Datenlizenz Deutschland". |

However GeoNutzV http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/geonutzv/index.html might apply, thus licensing is set to unsure.
