Re: [OSM-talk] License change? (was Re: Google Map Maker - press release)

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

 You can get it in PDF or RTF format at:
 http://svn.openstreetmap.org/misc/pr_material/releases/
 
 they can all use our data in any way they like
 
 Did we do the sane thing and relicense under a BSD style license whilst
 I wasn't looking?

Agreed it would be the sane thing, but 1. you're allowed to lie in press 
releases and 2. legal-talk is that way -

Bye
Frederik

For the avoidance of 9873454567 following mails, could I please point  
out that a mass-market press release is not meant to give an  
exhaustive, comprehensive guide to every single bleeding aspect of  
OSM. Rather, it simplifies the issues for people who have never heard  
of us before... but should.

 Did anything happen on the licensing issues since January?

Steve's currently getting an independent review of the proposed  
licence from a qualified lawyer prior to the next steps. News soon, I  
hope.

cheers
Richard
