I'm well familiar with reading French - thanks for the pointer ! Apparently these use terms are quite different from those on the EEA site. This really looks like we should incorporate French CORINE data into our collection of land cover data for the World Scenery. I'll be preparing an appropriate setup. > As for the OSM data, their Creative Commons license > (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/) permits redistribution > under the "same or similar" license. Could this not be the GPL ? The full license text is a bit more precise about 'similar' 4.b) "You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this License, a later version of this License with the same License Elements as this License, or a Creative Commons iCommons license that contains the same License Elements as this License". To my understanding (as well as the understanding of quite a few OSMers to whom I've been talking about this issue) this doesn't permit to distribute OSM-derived Scenery under the GPL. On the other hand, some of the content which makes it into our Scenery is licensed under the GPL.
