Hi, I forward this question from michel in talk: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Renaud MICHEL <r.h.michel+...@gmail.com> Date: 2009/8/16 Subject: [OSM-talk] copyright problem with data copied from a map To: t...@openstreetmap.org
Hello Two weeks ago, I found problem in Dison, Belgium, see here http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.6044&lon=5.8522&zoom=14 At that moment, the motorway had been shifted north-west by user Neo while adding other roads. I moved it back to correspond to GPS traces and messaged Neo about the problem. He did some more edits, see http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Neo/edits and that's when I realised that he was actually copying an actual map. He actually put the bounding box of his map http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/38566375 He confirmed a week later that he was really copying a map he scanned and loaded in JOSM (not rectifying it, so the shifted roads). He was obviously not aware of the copyright problem as he asked me, in the same message, if he could somehow copy the map from his tomtom. I replied one week ago explaining why he must not do that and asking him to remove all the edits he made based on that map, but had no more answer so far. So now I'm thinking about removing those edits myself, but am not sure what's the best way to do so. I don't know if the changeset can be reverted, as there are many of them, and I also did some edits there (changeset #1997354 #2005715 #2046924 a least) before knowing of the copyright problem. Any advice? I think I'm going to remove all this "by hand" with JOSM. But the ways will still be present in the DB with the history. Can we do something about this? cheers -- Renaud Michel _______________________________________________ talk mailing list t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- ___________________ Martin Koppenhoefer (Dipl-Ing.
