Hi Raul,

made a script to add new name:XX values to Openstreetmap using
wikipedia links from OSM and interlanguage links from Wikipedias.

Personally I see no problem here. But OSM is sometimes more strict.
Wikipedia is CC-BY-SA which is no compatible source for OSM as it
requires the derived work be CC as well. With the license change to
ODbL this is not possible.
It all depends whether a bulk import of names from Wikipedia into OSM
is considered a derived work.
Please clarify with OSM on legal-talk before investing a lot of effort
that would later need to be reverted.
Hope it works because I'm a big fan of the name:xx tags and I would
love to have this for other languages as well.

We had a discussion about this topic on legal-talk last April:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/legal-talk/2011-April/005907.html

So nobody answer me there with arguments for a problem.

Greetings Kolossos
