Re: [OSM-legal-talk] instead of replacing data can I just revert to the last known "clean" version?

replacing tainted data is a pain with current tools. there must be a some 
support to define an object (not just a changeset) as clean. This is the only 
chance to keep object history.
This should apply to all nodes if this tag is set on a way. At least for nodes 
without additional tags this should be a reasonable assumption. No one will 
really draw or verify way nodes  independent from creating/verifying a way.  
tainted nodes with additional tags should retain only the position. This is 
really important to keep connectivity of the road network intact. if the node 
tags are tainted we can not keep them. 
For relations this seems be to tricky and I would not go that far to push a 
odbl clean flag to it's members

I assume the LWG will follow your implementation as Simon's later post in this 
thread indicated.
The final switch is on DB level so we should do some dry run and compare with 
yours well before April 1st

Who are you to demand a response from people working in their spare time? You 
are not even willing to spend the time to read minutes and emails but expect 
individual response. If every mapper of the 10-20k active mappers expects this 
then tell me how the LWG or OSMF can do this? hire 500 lawyers to repeatedly 
answer the same question? What I have learned only a lawyer or a court desicion 
can give final answers. Whatever LWG says is less than an advise and absolutely 
not binding. 


and just to be clear, I am not an osmf member or in any way involved in the 
license change. Just tired of endless discussions and disrespect of the work 
these guys are doing.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] osm copyright violation?

2009-10-17 Thread Apollinaris Schoell
this is a technical description not an attribution. they offer also  
google streetview and ther Google copyright is in the main window
I will contact them ask to add it. The use of the date itself is fine  
as far as I understand the license

[OSM-legal-talk] osm copyright violation?

2009-10-17 Thread Apollinaris Schoell
Hi

Isn't this a  violation of the osm copyright? Can't find any attribution on
the website.
http://hotpads.com/search/#lat=37.34232140492519&lon=-121.85159683227539&zoom=24&listingTypes=rental,sublet,room,corporate&includeVaguePricing=false&loan=30,0.0525,0&visible=new,viewed,favorite

What should be done about this type of applications? Is it enough to contact
them and ask to add the attribution in the map or is they way they do it not
possible at all and they have to share their data if they want to use osm.
