Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Usage of OSM URLs in combination with proprietary set of URLs

2019-02-28 Thread Kathleen Lu via legal-talk
Hello Gian and Sandro,
IMO, from an ODbL it is definitely okay or you to extract URLs and crawl
them, and publish the crawled data (though you'd need to attribute OSM for
the URLs).
But if you are combining OSM URLs with proprietary URLs, and then
publishing both, then there's the question of whether you are making a
derivative database that would mandate sharing back your proprietary URLs
(making them available under a compatible license to be added into OSM).
Your use case is not really a map one, so it's a rather odd scenario. I
think the safest course would be to make the rest of the URLs available
under a compatible license (e.g., ODbL).
Best,
Kathleen

[OSM-legal-talk] Usage of OSM URLs in combination with proprietary set of URLs

2019-02-20 Thread Brunner Gian
Dear Sir or Madam,

Our names are Gian Brunner and Sandro Santoro, we are Students in Systems 
Engineering at NTB Buchs (Switzerland).
At the moment we are working on our Bachelor thesis and have a request about 
using OSM data.

Our Case: We would like to extract URLs from OSM data, combine them with other 
URLs from a proprietary source, download and crawl sites from both groups of 
URLs, extract menu information and publish it together with the URLs (In the 
Future we might provide this service commercially).
Is it legal to use OSM data for this purpose?

Thank you in advance and best Regards,
Gian Brunner & Sandro Santoro
