It's always the same story; the license text says that (quote on) You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and give the Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing by conveying the name (or pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; the title of the Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; and in the case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). (end quote) It all depends on what is thought to be 'reasonable to the medium'. Most of all, it isn't even in the Foundation's powers to define what is reasonable for a certain medium - the licensor of OSM data is not the foundation, but you and me and the other mappers, each of whom might have a different idea. And with these words I hand over to Richard F who will tell you how all this is hoped to improve in the future :-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/legal-talk
