I am working on a technical book teaching users how to analyse data using geographic information systems. I would like to use data from an open source data portal such as [open source fire department data](http://data.detroitmi.gov) My project would include redistributing the data with the book, analyzing the data in exercises for each book chapter and creating graphics and maps of the data. Do I need to seek approval / permission to use this data in a book from the municipality? Is this open data fair to use? I am new to this topic so please feel free to offer suggestions on how to approach this issue.
