Yes, I can see that. I've planned such routes (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/65903, in particular); it's hard work and requires a lot of judgement. It would qualify for sweat-of-the-brow copyright protection in the UK were it not for the statutes expressly limiting this to "original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works; sound recordings, films or broadcasts; and the typographical arrangement of published editions". French law appears to have no such limitation. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/OSM-legal-talk-Question-about-copyrighted-hiking-routes-in-France-tp5750170p5750333.html Sent from the Legal Talk mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
