So if I remember correctly I as a member of OSMF am legally liable
according to the terms of the license if someone sues for whatever reason
connected with this data in OSM not the person who added the data and that
was the conern of the legal bit of OSM.

The concern is I'm attached to my house and other assets so it sounds the
best thing to do is not renew my membership of OSMF but perhaps send them a
donation that way I don't have to worry about people importing data with
the wrong license.

We do have permission from the city to import:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada:Ontario:Ottawa/Import/Permission

but the OSM lawyers have said that the license is incompatible as the city
can pass on a lawsuit if someone sues the city for pointing them to the
wrong address with osm data.

>From the discussion with the city they want to change to the Open
Government License but they said they'd do it around December. I think when
you talked to them john they said they were working on it with their legal
team and possibly this quarter. Not sure when the license change will
happen or if it will (and they are just dicking around).

[Talk-ca] source http://data.ottawa.ca/dataset/

[john whelan]

I was looking in downtown Ottawa when I noticed two sets of addresses in
the map.

One appears to be labelled source=http://data.ottawa.ca/dataset/ which is
city of Ottawa Open data portal which to my understanding isn't licensed
for our use.

I'm not certain how many other things have been imported.
