Newbies, and experienced mappers should not attempt to negotiate terms of use with data providers without understanding the legal liability to which they expose themselves. The OSM Foundation should be involved in any terms negotiations. Do encourage data providers to license their data under compatible licenses for OSM, such as the PDDL. We should be aiming for much better terms when discussing permission with data providers. a requirement for source= is problematic, as further editing may remove that attribution. I suggest that future terms list attribution (and possibly disclaimer) be limited to mention at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution > Quiero anunciar que podemos usar la capa WMS de las imágenes aéreas de > ideib.cat para editar las Islas Baleares (España).
