I'm bringing up a conversation from talk-au pertaining to what additional permissions we need from content owners in order to include or use as a source to derive further information from their CC-BY licensed data in OSM.
Any advice is very much appreciated. On 16 April 2015 at 15:26, Paul Norman <penor...@mac.com> wrote: > On 4/15/2015 6:01 AM, Ross wrote: >> The issue is not with the licence.

My question was does CC-BY 4.0 have the same issue? Could CC-BY 4.0 data be included in OSM. Secondly, what specific permission do we need to include CC-BY 3.0 or 4.0 data in OSM? Do we essentially need the data supplier to agree to CC0 plus attribution in some specific form requested by OSMF? Is there a sample legal agreement or text for this? The release of government spatial data in Australia is continuing to expand to more and more agencies who are releasing under CC-BY, and it would be great if we had an OSMF approved license agreement or such we can present to these agencies so that hopefully these CC-BY datasets can be potentially used in some form in OSM. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
