If this is the case then given that the CC licences are copyright licences
what would they apply to in the OSM database in Australia?
The court case in question was over facts, dates and times and show
names, IceTV who instigated this case, also pays students to review
shows, which adds an element of creativity to their database of facts.
Thanks. So IceTV weren't infringing on Channel Nine's copyright as
Channel Nine didn't have one on the mere facts of their programme
schedule, but IceTV's combined and creativity-added database is above
the creativity/originality threshold required to gain copyright
protection as a (collective?) literary work?
There has been discussion in the past about how "creative" the various
levels of OSM are (my personal opinion is raw data:not, edited and
combined ways:possibly, rendered maps:definitely). The outcome wasn't to
rely on creativity. ;-)
