Hej, the swedish "lantmateriet" has decidet to put theier data under CCO licence (since the 1/9 2017)
I like to use the data for improving the map while i am mapping. The lantmateriets maps are an normal source for improvment of the map. Since a long time it is common to use older (free) versions of their maps as a background image. Now the are providing their information in shapefile format. I do not plan any "big" import of this data, i just want to use the shapefiles as i use the background map. Only that i will make my work a lite bit mor comfortbal by copying the providet outlines of the shapfiles instead of "redrawing" them from a backgroundimage. I want to do this one by one like i do while mapping from backgroundimagery. Since one user has expressed his concern that i could be a "import" that needs permission i write this email to give a chance to express your opinion. Since i do not want to import data att one point but want to use the shapefiles as a normal source under my normal mapping acitivities it is nearly impossible to follow the normal import procedure. I should macarice if any user that is involved in more deep diskussion could make the import guidlines clear att that point. I do not see any big difference between redrawing backgroundimagery and using shapefiledata in the same way. I guess that i can be more and more common with shapefiledata that can be used like normal background images but easier options to work with. This is my first post to import mailinglist and i was never engaged in discussions about import guidelines. Your sincerly Jens OSM-user: Skinfaxi
