Compatibility

Which other licences in the catalogue this one combines cleanly with — and which combinations produce share-alike propagation, attribution-stack accumulation, or outright incompatibility.

GeoBase / Canada family licences are generally compatible with the Open Government Licence — Canada (id 69), CC BY 4.0 (id 1), and the Open Government Licence — UK (id 10) for data combination purposes.

Less compatible with share-alike copyleft licences such as ODbL (id 7) or CC BY-SA (id 2) — combining GeoBase data into an ODbL database would be permissible but the resulting database would carry ODbL's share-alike obligations.

Compatibility is a working-summary rather than a legal opinion. For a specific combination decision in a real project, consult the original licence texts and a lawyer with subject-matter familiarity. CLIPol is a reference, not a substitute for advice.
