I think you are missing the point here - it has been common practice in the past to obtain individual permission from right owners for importing CC-BY data into OSM. If you want to change this established procedure for your import you should give a valid reason. The only reason i could imagine is that the right owner does not want to give that permission - which obviously is a bad one. > You asked me to document the ocha:pcode and ocha:old_code tags, and I > did.

This all looks very obscure - I already mentioned before, see: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/imports/2014-November/003564.html that proprietary IDs where mappers have no way to verify the validity of the ID have no place in OSM. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
