Purpose
This licence was obtained for the purpose of archiving Crown Copyright material in web archives such as Webcite. I have used this where government documents found on-line have been used as references in articles.

Although the HMSO Licence would permit the use of Crown Copyright material directly in a Wikipedia article, this would still not be possible under Wikipedia rules. This is because the licence is not a GNU Free licence as required by Wikipedia policy.

What?
You don't know what HMSO is? What country are you living in? It is Her Majesty's Stationary Office.
