Previous editor's note: But I've been corresponding with Statistics Norway ( the home of the statistics ) and they've said the same. Their license is essentially the same as the Norwegian License for Open Government Data ( NLOD - http://data.norge.no/nlod/en/1.0 ), but they can't yet write this, though they're working on it. That is, their license is CC BA compatible.

Datasets available through the API (data.ssb.no) is licensed under NLOD: http://www.ssb.no/en/omssb/tjenester-og-verktoy/api

License is CC 4.0 BY. As of 26.09.2013 extensive portions of Norwegian map data is released in digital form, under a open license ( CC 3.0 BA ) - the announcement is here: http://www.kartverket.no/Om-Kartverket/Nyheter/Nasjonale-kartdata-blir-gratis/ New maps will be added, but at this point in time Norway maps with a resolution 1:50 000 and up, are available, here: http://data.kartverket.no/download/ 2d views, terrain models, location names, road data, and boundary maps are all part of this map release. An online (WMS) version of the maps is available, freely, here: http://beta.norgeskart.no/ In order to download data, the portal requires users to register.

There's some parallel environmental information, also in free ( by attribution) machine readable form, available from Statistics Norway http://ssb.no/natur-og-miljo?innholdstype=statistikk / google translated: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=no&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fssb.no%2Fnatur-og-miljo%3Finnholdstype%3Dstatistikk

License is open when you also look at these web pages: https://ssb.no/informasjon/om-statistikkbanken/hvordan-bruke-statistikkbanken https://ssb.no/informasjon/om-statistikkbanken/generelle-vilkar-for-bruk-av-statistikkbanken

License("URL to license or terms of use") in the link is not strictly an open license, and this seems to be since it's a general notice which also includes text, layout etc. on the website.

(Reviewer notice, 2014)

Fields available: http://hotell.difi.no/api/html/brreg/enhetsregisteret/fields

Further data may be made available in the future: http://www.brreg.no/nyheter/2012/06/datasett_enhetsregisteret.html

Edit: added that the data - though in a minimal form, compared to what's registered with the government, is available under a free license from data.norway.no , using the firstmentioned url above.

Edit: amended main URL so it goes directly to dataset and not to search.

Edit: the data set is updated nightly.

Publisher is "The Brønnøysund Register Centre", but the technical publisher is Difi (who receives the data-export and makes it available). (Reviewer-comment 2014)

NRI took over the responsibility of providing national travel data in 2013, and they're still in a process of getting more data (accessibility, realtime etc), more frequent updates, expanding their API etc. All public and private companies providing personal transport are required to export data to NRI, and they as of 2014-11-19 have 214 companies in their database, according to their API.

Whether data is available in bulk is uncertain. This depends on the definition. I've been strict here, since it was not trivial to download the raw base data for all routes in Norway with the current API-documentation. You can however easily list all transport companies, the routes they provide, search to/from and get trip-results, query for further details on each journey etc.

Note1: the license is not prominently mentioned on the website. It is mentioned on the form you have to fill out to get an API-key.

Note2: many of the local providers have their own APIs with more functionality, real time data etc. Most notably labs.ruter.no

(Reviewer-comments, 2014)

No license for use of data is stated on statsbudsjettet.no.

Editor: For private use, the data is available free of charge. However, commercial use requires a angreement ( read: subscription ) http://www.lovdata.no/info/lovavtale.html

No changes since 2013.

Reviewer-note 2014: Lovdata mentions an API on their webpage: https://lovdata.no/info/api Plans for the future?

Records of spending on a transactional level is not openly available online, and have to be requested.

There are some higher-level numbers available;

The data is still not officially available as Open Data. The site http://adressesok.posten.no/en/postal_codes/search?q=1350 allows web queries postcode lookup to get the name of the locality. This is HTML only with a restrictive licence at http://adressesok.posten.no/en/pages/usage_terms and only one postcode can be queried at a time.

You can download the dataset in bulk from http://www.bring.no/hele-bring/produkter-og-tjenester/brev-og-postreklame/andre-tjenester/postnummertabeller in XLSX-format. No lat/long is provided only ZIP-code, placename, municipalitycode, municipalityname and category.

http://data.kartverket.no/download/content/stedsnavn-ssr-wgs84-geojson could be used to obtain a rough lat/long of the postcode. However, as suggested by the original submitter, it's been gathered and made available by a private citizen, at http://www.erikbolstad.no/geo/noreg/postnummer/. However, the privately gathered data is has some quality/accuracy issues, so it's a good question as to whether it can be considered complete.
