As the OSMF position is that the entirety of OSM is not protected by copyright law, and that CC-BY-SA 2.0 "unprotects" the content with respect to all other intellectual property rights, that might be difficult to do :). In any case, I need a little more than "can't demonstrate copyright infringement" before I can comfortably reuse OSM for commercial purposes. -- As a separate question, can someone give a high-level overview of "redaction"? What will the full-history download look like? Is the history overwritten, removed, or kept? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
