Hi Jan, Specifically, here's is an example of the Geographic Boundaries page that indicates a CC-BY license: http://data.houstontx.gov/group/geographic-boundaries On the left side, at the bottom of the list of information. I would surmise that this applies to all the geographic boundary datasets, but you can ask them for clarification. Best, Kathleen
