I just did some quick googling and the state of Virginia appears to
have liberal open records laws. All government data produced in the
state of Virginia should be public domain, unless specifically
exempted by the public records statute. So if there is no exemption
for spatial data, no additional permissions are needed. You may want
to dive a little deeper into the statute to double check. Also
another indication that there is a green-light on licensing is take
a look at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://openaddresses.io/">http://openaddresses.io/</a> -- if data is there for your
particular state, it should be fine.<br class="">
