Has anyone given much thought to how this works for the sui generis database right of the European Union? In other words, *does* the free contribution of multiple items of data, not in themselves substantial enough to form a database, give the person to whom they are contributed (whatever that might mean) a database right in the sum? I am wondering (as others have wondered) where the "substantial investment" is? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask the question. I realise that you all have a team of lawyers who do/have thought about all this and that is inherent in the ODBL but I am just curious. It isn't obvious to me that this is simple. -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
