A quick look at the EU code tells us:
"Member States should therefore make available, as a minimum and free of
charge, the services *for discovering and*, subject to certain specific
conditions, *viewing* spatial data sets."
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=OJ:L:2007:108:TOC
So
INSPIRE sets the framework for geospatial (meta)data in the EU and requires
member states to commit to having certain types of data available in a defined
exchange format. When I was involved in this more closely, there was not the
assumption that the data would be free (as in beer), and as far
INSPIRE is an EU requirement. As far as I know the UK makes all their
INSPIRE data open for free, although I am not sure if they had to under the
EU rules of if they just decided to. See:

Hi,
Openaddress.io lists a lot of open address data sources by country. A lot
of it is CC-BY or ODbL or similar licenses (not all of it compatible with
OSM), though you have to look at each individual location to see what it is
specifically.
For example:
https://github.com/openaddresses/openaddress
In Austria we have a lot of open data (mostly CC-BY) like:
* aerial imagery with pixel resolution of ~ 30cm
* digital basemap
* DEM out of ALS data with 10m distance
* address data
and various other data sets. For OpenStreetMap it was possible to get an
exception or modification from the attributio
Canada: Canvec data is free from NRCan

Hello,
I am in the middle of court proceedings related to prices which Czech state
GIS authority asks for INSPIRE data (for context, it´s about hundreds of
thousands Euro for altimetry dataset, which is basically off reach for
anyone).
I want to know what is common practice among other EU coun
