Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Data consumer use cases

2012-11-30 Thread Jonathan Harley


Hi all, just a note to say that I've updated the Use Cases wiki page 
based on the comments below from Igor and others who replied to me 
earlier in the month.


Michael - everyone who's commented about your redrafted guideline has 
agreed with it - maybe it's time to go ahead and replace what's there now.


Jonathan.

Anyone disagree?

What are the other examples you had in mind? Real-world examples
are exactly what we need for this.


Some more:

  * Various forms of algorithm-driven generalizations: simplifications
of roads and polygons, merging of polygons with same or similar
landuse, elimination of polygons that are too small for given map
scale (like buildings), amalgamation...
  * Transformation of multipolygons (polygons with holes) into weakly
simple polygons (certain platforms don't know how to render
polygons with holes).
  * Algorithm-driven automated label and icon placement.
  * Other applications of geometric and graph algorithms on OSM data
(Voronoi diagrams, traveling distances etc.) if they are driven by
OSM data only.

Best regards,
Igor

[OSM-legal-talk] can I printscreen the osm.org page?

2012-11-30 Thread Aykut Ucar
I need some help on the osm.org website usage.

Can I get a copy of the map on osm webpage with printscreen key?
After that, I am planning the modify the image a little bit and distribute
it in a mobile app.
Copyright messages will be still there under the image.
Could this be a legal problem?
If this is ok to do, can I do the same thing with Mapquest Open tiles
loaded instead osm.org tiles?

Kind Regards.
