Verdict

Authoritative French geodata for mapping and geocoding agents, like bsh-geoseaportal-open-data for German seas. Licence: Custom (Licence Ouverte / Etalab 2.0): the services page says "Sauf mention contraire, tous les contenus de ce site sont sous licence etalab-2.0" and the legal notice says "les contenus de ce site sont proposés sous licence etalab-2.0". Listed as Custom, as for other Licence Ouverte entries. Check each layer for any conditions of its own. Rate limits: Not stated on the pages read. Signal Lab links only.
