Francis Davey <fjm...@...> writes: Database copyright arises when the database is the author's "own intellectual creation". That means that some design or creativity has to have gone into the database - it can't simply be an assemblage of facts. Database right arises when there is a "substantial investment". It focuses on work not creativity. Lots of work in making a database won't get you copyright but may get you database right.
It is much more likely that OSMF attracts database right than database copyright. Thanks for clarifying this. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
