CC-BY-SA doesn't allow you to "combine the two into one dataset" unless that one dataset is CC-BY-SA. > Because you can just "cut out" Australia and place it in a new database with > no linkage, it can be a Collective Database, not a Derivative Database - so > they don't have to be the same licence.

If you don't clearly have a license, then you shouldn't use the work at all. But as long as you release the combined dataset under CC-BY-SA, there shouldn't be a problem. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
