 given that the OSM attribution is given equal prominence with their
 own Terms and their imagery attribution. (By the way, Alex and Eric
 from MapBox are members of this mailing list.) Surely should be given
 equal prominence with the map copyright holder's own attribution
 would be a better principle than put it in the corner.

The relevant section of the ODbL is 4.3, I quote You must include a
notice associated with the Produced Work reasonably calculated to make
any Person that uses, views, accesses, interacts with, or is otherwise
exposed to the Produced Work aware that Content was obtained from the
Database. Note it says any Person not Persons that are curious
enough to click on a link. :-). For practical reasons we are
already suggesting a far more compact attribution string than suggested
there for online maps and while we currently are not explicit about
(real, not hypothetical) small screen devices you are unlikely going to
find us complaining about reasonable solutions if you are really running
out of screen real estate.

Given that we have roughly 1'500'000 contracts that restrict us to
distributing the data under the two explicitly named licences in the
contributor terms, we cannot depart so far from the ODbL with our
attribution suggestions  that the result would amount to a different
licence.

Forgetting the legal issues, as long as we are not in Googles shoes
where the default assumption is that any on screen map is from them, we
need a clear mark of some kind on every use of OSM to drive the message
home from a marketing perspective. At least people using OpenStreetMap
data must be aware of it, and not as I've experienced a number of times,
flatly refuse that this is the case.

Back to the question of if we are not asking too much, a IMHO good
example of what we want http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contact/spaces/ (a
MapBox customer nota bene) , a example with a map from bing
http://corporate.walmart.com/our-story/our-business/locations/ , an
example with a map from google
http://www.baesystems.com/our-company-rzz/our-locations (switch to
satellite and zoom in a bit). I think the conclusion must be that we are
not asking for something unreasonable.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Corine Land Cover?

 I agree. Importing Corine is a big mistake for any OSM community. The best
 way to use Corine is to make a rendered Corine layer, and then use that to
 help with mapping.

blablabla, always the same song. Like if a blank page is better than
rough landuses... With this concept, OSM should have never started
with Yahoo imagery...

 I've seen a Corine import in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the data is awful.
 Not only that, it makes mapping a nightmare for any beginner.

Like any other contributions, you are free to delete old landuses and
make new ones better. Just do it. Btw, mapping landuse is any way a
nightmare, even for experimented contributors. I did. Did you ?

Back to the OP, many data sources imported requires some
acknowledgment. This is either on the polygons or in changeset
comments. Even if it is removed from elements, you find it in the
history. (it's even better in the changeset comment since it is
permanent)

 it is one click away:

That it likely simply a glitch, the desktop version still has a large
map at the top of the screen, attribution and all.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Corine Land Cover?

2014-01-14 Thread pmsg
Hi,

 From: Martin Koppenhoefer dieterdre...@gmail.com

 legal issues aside my concern is that Corine Data is not suitable
 technically for OSM: the resolution is too low and not compatible with the
 rest of our data.

I don't want to import Corine Land Cover data. I would like the Wiki
to be correct, though.

So can we - theoretically - derive vector data from sources requiring
(any form of) attribution and import the derived data into OSM? For
example, can we use Corine Land Cover data? I think not, but I would
be grateful to be tought something different.

Greetings, pmsg

I think it depends on the country, AFAIK this is not one big dataset but
several datasets, with different licensing according to the contributing
country.
