I have to apologize for my changeset comment on Monday. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47788923 I overlooked the quoted statement above. > So I talked to my boss today and he said we can be listed on the Contributors > page, but that I shouldn’t go beyond that with any additional wording that > may be misconstrued as legal language from our attorney. This disclaimer > predates the free and open policy and we’ve heard from others that it might > be a tiny sticking point for some in the community. It has been our intent > since the creation of the policy that anyone and everyone can use the data, > especially OSM. I see you are proceeding with the import. Although you wrote that you work for the county I would prefer that the permission exists in writing [1] before you continue with the import. > Because of this conversation, I now get to write a new disclaimer as the old > one has become an issue.

It is then not necessary anymore that > third parties who use OpenStreetMap data attribute [organization] as > a source. Best regards Michael [1] either as an email or as a scan of signed sheet of paper (uploaded on the wiki) or as a statement on a website PS Do you regularly have a look into the email inbox of your account DCJoeS_dcmnbuildings? Even import accounts are expected to respond to changeset comments. :-) -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt. (Mailinglisten ausgenommen) I prefer GPG encryption of emails.
