The data is under a share-alike license which means if you're not going to share the results of the whatever you're going to do with the data with the rest of the world. A lot of academics, open data projects, NGOs and journalists use our Open Data API without any problem but ofcourse, we use the profits from selling our data to businesses to support the organisation. We think it's really important an organisation such as OpenCorporates remains sustainable and that's why we have this model.
