It was mentioned earlier about how some groups, especially humanitarian groups often choose to use non-commercial licenses on their data. This of course causing an incompatibility with OSM.
There recently was a court ruling in Germany that decided that Non-Commercial is only for personal use(1). This would mean that NC licenses are not appropriate for humanitarian data. It will be interesting to see if there are further court rulings. -Kate https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140326/11405526695/german-court-says-creative-commons-non-commercial-licenses-must-be-purely-personal-use.shtml _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
