[OSM-legal-talk] Licenses for data sources
Is there a consolidated list of licenses that are acceptable on data sources for use for importing or tracing into OSM? I ask this question because wiki information has been contradicted by email discussion on the subject of City of Vancouver open data. Additionally, is it acceptable to trace from PDDL orthography into OSM? The City of Surrey has some orthography of a very high quality and they have released it and all of their GIS data under PDDL. I would expect PDDL to be compatible, but having received contradictory information once, I'm checking. ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

Wow. Do they even have (and offer) data? It's not immediately obvious to be if they do offer data. Municipalities shouldn't write licenses; it ain't their job. It ain't their core competence. Their citizens ain't paying for the city to do license composition and maintenance. Municipalities should publish data under PDDL,[1] to limit their liability, and make the data available to the widest possible audience. I shouldn't critique their license. I've just had dinner and a lovely bottle of wine. Let's just say I wouldn't touch it.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Licenses for data sources
Hi Paul, re Vancouver, please see http://weait.com/content/tragedy-edmontorcouver-open-data http://weait.com/content/unintended-restrictions re PDDL: http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/pddl/summary/ No restrictions are listed. Since they have vector data available, importing that (as opposed to tracing) should be the way to go. Michael.
