Hello, I've recently posted this on the forum (http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=22354). Do you have any ideas?
The post in the forum says: "The Brazilian community is growing and now we are facing a problem. Some contributors may be importing copyrighted data. While we are defining a workflow to handle that, I would like to know if there are any tools that could help us detect if: - any data was copied from another map (in .osm format), with or without some form of "adulteration" - any imported data was traced over some other imagery (particularly Google's) I would like to know also which copyright legislation applies: that of the regions of the imported data, or that of where the database is stored and the service is provided? Thank you in advance for any information." -- Fernando Trebien +55 (51) 9962-5409 "The speed of computer chips doubles every 18 months." (Moore's law) "The speed of software halves every 18 months."
