I'm still finding it a bit hard to understand exactly what is meant by "can remain in the OSM db". Is the following statement correct? "Nearmap-derived contributions prior to June 17 were licensed CC-BY-SA*, and will remain part of the main, actively developed and distributed OSM database even when it changes to ODbL, and Nearmap is fine with that. However, they refuse to allow any contributions under the new Contributor Terms, because those call for unspecified future relicensing." Also, a question I should probably know the answer to: is ODbL considered compatible with CC-BY-SA? Can you relicense something that is CC-BY-SA as ODbL? (I guess the answer must be yes, but could someone confirm?) Steve * Or ODbL, depending on the contributor and time. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
