The legal working group has looked at things like this in the past when there is some question, but as far as I know there is no formal process in place to ask. It is just up to you or whoever wants to use the maps to make the request. I would say it would be very difficult to get this permission though. > 2.

No, we can't use them even in that way, as that is still taking information from it, it is just harder to do but that doesn't change the legality of it. In either case you are producing a derived work of the map and you need permission to do that. - -AndrewBuck -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJT82nLAAoJEK7RwIfxHSXbkrYP/RUYcoxPsQLULpkC9y+qZn0c iRdxOLvA37fA+MExvzSsRbC4g0e0CH5seJD9/mviOe64fuKITphdKgdSjzaAPc/G vPGK2cV4pcrM+ciIq25ex7JEVW2bylmHhCCMzR2ePCtCTuWma4OudFHyeFxNAtAe cAlqoPRII3+IyaSGxNLfMhbn7H0E9Sk7BrTEW30PNyBudl5l6z7fp2AX4ePB6H2d 3WwVyeG7X2TnmRjI93qWHn7M2OorlMqymU6NF221IAxmC4TBr7V9R2BvIzWYmc1y UoFQKibSQkkVUNH4Azoyt+YGt/EH2pa63CxFU2J9uTWkK1VyFqlT4ea02ZvALF04 rspWl0K4xJjUHneXQfgIRKNO6Z5pjzXhNSq6QSYlytRw7metjLengO/AboyaZZhs FtAfhPvWspLp9+gy2mKCSLyollvnb6I4p9le9/DQytE23SnsVVV0gjWiIouPoVPX 7pzRiJtmQ9KtlOsokjIY2JmC4lS7bAzb+QEHg4BCuDr+QXHW93reTp4EOIZs8elC /POzL+YJNssPPlzDoTP5Eh9tVLBBu8ad5DTO8+lOqxdDyduOZ555aa5pPL50wFbZ Dvy/9TQ+d/aDAxf4T8MSrOOaE6FT6CdAlppAGmwiAviVYLl5wUpzDi6Nb/VasfmP w6EFZM186nNgLphrU8fI =Nx93 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
