Of course, if they happen to have suitable GIS data for their locations and
were willing to allow us to reuse these and the details on their website
under the ODBL, then it would be a very helpful dataset. We could use it to
keep track of the frequent closur ahem... changes to the YHA network.

Permission to add something to a map is certainly not the same as
permission to release information under the ODBL, we need that explicitly
stated.
Also, how are you going to locate the hostels? I'm assuming you're armchair
mapping, so how can you tell whether (or which) hostel mapped in OSM
Hi
"YHA (England & Wales)" would go in the "operator" field, not appended
to the "name". (I'm not sure which you were suggesting.)
I'm pretty sure that the loose permission (that you quote) is not
technically enough to safely use the YHA's own list as a source of
data for OSM, though it seems
I've made an enquiry to YHA England & Wales and have been told that while
"names of the individual hostels and YHA (England & Wales) as well as Youth
Hostel are all copyrighted”
they are
"happy for you to use the names on a map"
and will even supply a current list.
Is there any objection to
Thanks Robert.
I’ve been trying to track down some of the local unmapped ones.
This one I need to update (thanks to the ex-parish clerk who is regularly on a
pub quiz team with me confirming):
