According to section 9 of the ODbL, "Releasing the Database under different licence terms or stopping the distribution of the Database will not withdraw this Licence (or any other licence that has been, or is required to be, granted under the terms of this Licence)" So yes, companies would have that option. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
