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.

 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.

 I utterly, totally, fail to understand why one would want to copy OS data
 into OSM. If you think that OS data is good for you, just draw your map from
 OS data. If you would like OS data for your base map but cycleways from OSM
 - go ahead, it's a simple matter of rendering rules.


... as long as all you want is a pretty picture.  This kind of combination
is unlikely to be routeable, for example.
