That does not mean anything. And of course there is no reason for concern for the OSMF. Neither is there for any agent of the owner of the data performing import work as part of his/her job. The independent mapper processing the data however, like making fixes, doing tag conversion etc. before adding the data to the OSM database has no legal basis for this work. Side note: If I was a donator for any of the organizations supporting such work i'd insist on a regulation requiring all results of supported work to be made available under an open license. Making available data publicly but not specifying any license or terms of use indicates a lack of awareness of the matter which is not good. It also makes you wonder how diligent they have been regarding sources they used for producing that data... -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
