I'm guessing it's a joke. I was in Nanaimo last week, and I made a bunch of

- taking care of copy-pasted Geobase ways that were overlapping pre-existing
non-Geobase ones
- adding oneway tags
- connecting roads to each other
- adding streams from NHN
- mapping new
Answering my own question.. no, doesn't seem like GeoBase contains
boundaries for cities (

So StatsCan seems to be the only source of vector data for this?

For my area, I've asked one of the previous boundary mappers of the source
of info, it was cantopo (plus I got an OK to replace the data). It should
be good to ask other people who added boundaries.
Overall, I think boundaries are very different from other mapping, as those

1. OSMF does change the license without any regard; people who are against
ODBL get pissed off and stop contributing (lost for OSM?). No data loss from
the database.
2. OSMF does not do that; contributions of people who are against ODBL are
deleted, people who are against ODBL stop
A poll could be something like: Would you find a it acceptable if OSMF
relicensed the whole dataset to ODBL without any data loss. If nothing
else, that'd give an idea of how people feel about licensing vs data itself.

Consider two cases:
1. Current license does not cover the OSM data (I think that's the OSMF
view). In this case, OSMF can just change to ODBL without asking anyone.
2. Current license does cover the OSM data. Then there's no need to change.

I wonder how easy it is in fact to usefully take the OSM data without giving
things back, even with the current license. Seems to me, not so easy. OSM
data is not perfect. To create a value-add, a commercial entity would have
to extend it. So let's say they do in some non-trivial way (e.g. not
With averaging, if the random errors dominate the systematic errors, you
will in fact have a better idea where the road is. IIRC, during the course

you instead drive/ride the same road on different days, it's going to be
Also, a free-hand drawing mode (e.g. press-down left mouse button and
drag) in JOSM would go a long way towards faster tracing. Clicking to
add one point at a time is pretty slow.

(Sorry for repeating myself) it's not only splitting; larger

Corey,
In my original message (as opposed to a snippet you quoted), I
suggest that matching geobase UUID is equivalent to throwing out the
data, if not position-wise, then topology-wise. We can take the easy

Hmm, did I say more authoritative? I thought it was something like

That's a possibility, though RoadMatcher is the tool for exactly this
purpose. For now, after the import, in problematic places I compare
the topologies by opening the resulting .osm file from geobase2osm
script (not the standalone, but the whole thing) as another layer. Then
data can be
