I don't think 4a does apply. You're not restricting access to the original OSM data - a Safari user, for example, could simply open up Activity Monitor, see that the Flash app has called in something from openstreetmap.org, and option-double-click to extract it. To be extra sure, the Flash app could even present a little link saying "Click here for OpenStreetMap source data". But asking on the CC lists is a good idea and I've now done so. :) cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Computer-generated-derivative-tp22411119p22412173.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - Legal Talk mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
