That's a confusing statement from SteveC: If one can't make mashups with OSM, then we really have either to change OSM's license or stop speaking of OSM being open (or launch an own project perhaps called 'OpenBaseMap'?).

I agree; still this discussion seems to have some parallels to the classic "Viral vs. Non-viral" discussion (BSD vs. GPL). That's my needs: Taking OSM as a base map layer and having an own, separate thematic overlay layer (even available in intranet/offline, printed, etc.). I'd really assume that this assembly should be possible with OSM, shouldn't it? -S. 2009/5/31 Marc Wick [email protected] > There are fundamental differences between source code and data.
