[talk-au] Irony...

2011-07-11 Thread Matt White
Is it just me, or is there a certain amount of irony in Nearmap not allowing OSM to use their aerials to trace from, but being quite happy to use OSM as their street layer? (Don't get me wrong - I think Nearmap have a very tidy product, but it's just a pity that a compromise couldn't be

They do allow OSM to trace their imagery, or anyone else for that matter. So long as traced data is licensed under CC-BY-SA. It is the OSMF/OSM whom chooses that this license isn't suitable and whom won't accept the data. As for this choice, i.e. why nearmap insists over CC-BY-SA rather that CC0

It is my understanding that Bing essentially said to OSM yes you can upload to OSM. We as a community can't verify this. http://www.microsoft.com/maps/product/terms.html mentions nothing, all we have is http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Bing_license.pdf which we can't verify as authentic.

Matt, I hope Nearmap continue to use OSM data. I only wish that they updated it a bit more often. That Way (for areas they cover that I don't get to regularly) I can spot new roads that need a visit to survey properly. Cheers Nick ___ Talk-au mailing
