Whoops - wrong cc. Too tired + autocomplete. Not that there's anything
secret, just no need to say anything much if we got permission.
Just a random work item from the DWG.

Subject: [OSM-legal-talk] GADM and Bolivia
I'm sure we're all overjoyed to have this come up again...
Background/refresher:
GADM is a global administrative boundary dataset under a non-commercial
license. Some people imported data from it into OSM, not realizing (or
not
caring) that it was incompatible with CC BY-SA, ODbL as well as any open
license.
At the time of the redaction we found this out and Simon asked about
Ecuador, Ivory Coast, Turkey, Uganda, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Jordan,
Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Syria.
We received permission for Turkey, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast,
Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Syria but GADM couldn't grant the
rights in Ecuador, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Mozambique.
While looking at something else I came across an import of
administrative boundaries from GADM in Bolivia. This was not identified
at the time by looking at the wiki, so we never asked GADM about it.
The one changeset I've identified is
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/3993096, by LLAQWA, the
person who imported Ecuador GADM data that had to be redacted. Previous
efforts to contact him were unsuccessful, so I see no point in trying
again.
Simon is skiing, so what I propose doing is contacting the person from
GADM who replied before, and if they can't grant permission then it'll
need to be redacted.
I was unable to identify any way of contacting the Bolivian community,
or even if there is one. I don't think that it changes much anyways - if
we can't get permission, we need to redact.
