When you use the data, it is important to mention the document’s source and follow any copyleft licence requirements. 

What is copyleft? 

A copyleft licence allows anyone to copy, modify and distribute intellectual property (IP) freely under the terms stated.

Where a copyright licence restricts the freedom to copy, modify and distribute IP, a copyleft licence provides this freedom.
