Re: [OSM-legal-talk] License Working Group 2013
Would this be an appropriate forum to discuss whether or own slippy map requires our own copyright mark? The response to this question in a separate thread on this list has been vague and non-definitive.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] (c) statement on openstreetmap.org slippy map?
Paul - Are you talking about the link to "Copyright and License" under "Help" in the left-nav or the statement "The data is free to download<http://planet.openstreetmap.org/> and use <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_OpenStreetMap> under its open license <http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright>," which is also in the left-nav? I would contend that neither of those are a copyright mark. If we require others to put (c) OpenStreetMap contributors on their tiles, I believe we are obligated to do the same in order to demonstrate that we are taking appropriate steps to protect our copyrights. - Jeff On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 9:29 PM, Martin Holmgren wrote: > Hi! > > Maybe you are talking about different versions of the site?

Where is it? I didn't see any copyright on osm.org.

[OSM-legal-talk] (c) statement on openstreetmap.org slippy map?
Hi legal types - Should we be marking our own map at openstreetmap.org with the same markings we ask others to use? My impression is that you're supposed to mark a copyright in any use of the copyrighted material - is that incorrect? This is the practice Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and MapQuest use for their maps.
