Forwarding Dave's answer to the list, to which it was copied, but maybe he is not subscribed.
I think Dave's answer makes the intents clear. Mike, I am not a lawyer, and your jurisdiction may vary, but since you ask for an explanation: technically, I don't think that using a dataset to check or adjust the position of imagery is enough to make mapping traced from the imagery a derived work of the dataset (in the sense that it would convey legal rights).

I'm working on an idea that will get us license free information which OSM will be able to use. I really want to see OSM have a comprehensive map of Samoa as its not really workable without having that universal access Dave On Sat, Dec 3, 2011 at 2:49 PM, Mike Dupont <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: please explain, you are saying all the derived work from the images are not to be reused... :( > This information is only to be used for the simulation. > > Thus, it cannot be imported into OSM, or copied. > > It should however be possible to use it, for example, for adjusting the > offset of satellite imagery (it seems to fit pretty well with the existing > OSM data), before tracing from the imagery. so you have some images that can be used and you want to use the other unusable images to make the usable ones more usable, or am I just confused. please explain thanks mike On Sat, Dec 3, 2011 at 4:40 PM, Jean-Guilhem Cailton <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > Hi, > > A Samoa road layer, from 1999 aerial photos, from the Samoa Ministry of > Natural Resources and Environment, was made available though Dave Leng, Kate > and Pierre B. > > This information is only to be used for the simulation. > > Thus, it cannot be imported into OSM, or copied. > > It should however be possible to use it, for example, for adjusting the > offset of satellite imagery (it seems to fit pretty well with the existing > OSM data), before tracing from the imagery. > > > You can view this layer (as an overlay) on : > http://pierzen.dev.openstreetmap.org/hot/openlayers/samoa.htm > or > http://osm.arkemie.org/samoa/ > > Note that the file is relatively large for OpenLayers online rendering (6.3 > MB), so it is advised to zoom in as much as possible first, before toggling > this layer on.
