Er, sounds like a red herring to me since they can have database rights and be licensed who cares about the copyright for the purposes of some ridiculous DRM schema that the big licensers will use? Best Steve As you've probably noticed around these parts, we argue against using those rights no matter who's using them, whether in the name of supposed freedom or in the name of enclosure. jtw ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

Hi, Elizabeth Dodd wrote: Facts are Facts and can't be Copyrighted ... which ist not exactly the position that OSM is taking on this matter; in fact, with ODBL we go to great lengths to ensure that even if our facts should not be copyrightable we still get to say exactly under what conditions they are used through contract and database law. We're willing to enter completely uncharted waters and use a new and untested licensing framework precisely because we do *not* want our data to be free of any restrictions. So if you are looking for someone who takes the above position, best talk to one of the Science Commons guys!

Bye Frederik That is the basis of Australian law, and recent a High Court decision has returned us to that position, carefully deciding that a database, to be subject to copyright, had to demonstrate intellectual or artistic input. So the facts from a map in Australia can't be copyrighted. The intellectual and artistic work of creating a map results in a map which can be copyright. ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

I could in theory make it, and I even considered it for about 10 seconds... but I couldn't think what I'd get out of it other than frustration. DRM for maps, sorry GeoDRM... what can you say but FAIL ?
