OGL requires attribution back to the original source. Currently OHM doesn't provide such information.
We could have a page such as the one Mapbox has for all its data sources. Adding data with different licenses and requirements will give us a lot of issues when deciding on a license. Also using the same approach as Mapbox will make it much harder for people to reuse OHM data because of the many licenses. Also there is no way we could know what data is under what license in such a open project. Personally I would strongly recommend not adding any data under a non public domain or public domain like license to OHM before deciding on a license. I can't see the need of OSM imports, people that want to combine the data could do so by them self... // Albin On May 23, 2015 7:17 PM, "Jeff Meyer" <[email protected]> wrote: > Albin - you tweeted that OGL & OHM were incompatible.
