See: http://people.debian.org/~evan/ccsummary.html. That is my opinion too. The Debian packager could exploit clause 4b (see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/legalcode) by modifying the OSM data and distribute them (as Derivative Works) under the terms of CC-by-sa-v3.0. But my opinion is that CC-by-sa-v3.0 also fails to meet the DFSG. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/03/msg00105.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/09/msg00176.html On the other hand, other people (including the FTP masters) seem to disagree with me and think that CC-by-sa-v3.0 meets the DFSG... :-( > > Can somebody please clarify whether the current CC-by-sa 2.0 data from OSM > > can be included in Debian? > > So my guess is that the answer to that question is "no" (at least as > regards inclusion in "main"). Agreed. My suggestion is: try and persuade upstream to change licensing policy (I admit it's a hard task, especially because I have the impression that the copyright holders are numerous...) and have the data re-licensed in a DFSG-free manner (e.g.: under the terms of GNU GPL v2). -- Paolo Cavallini, see: http://www.faunalia.it/pc _______________________________________________ Iscriviti all'associazione GFOSS.it: http://www.gfoss.it/drupal/iscrizione [email protected] http://www.faunalia.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gfoss Questa e' una lista di discussione pubblica aperta a tutti.
