The [insert Name of Public Authority] is a Crown body and the information we produce is subject to Crown copyright, which is administered by the Queen’s Printer for Scotland. The material listed in this Publication Scheme is Crown copyright unless stated otherwise. The copyright in some of the material which may be found in this Publication Scheme has been waived.

More details of these and other categories are available in the Guidance Notes.
For other types of material, the supply of documents under Freedom of Information does not give the person or organisation who receives them an automatic right to re-use the documents in a way that would infringe copyright, for example, by making multiple copies, publishing and issuing copies to the public.
