Hi all, Quick question if anyone is able to help me! I'm currently working on a project to gather postcode address information, to effectively create a free, open version of the Royal Mail PAF file. The dataset we are gathering is currently public domain, although this may be changing to CCBYSA or the Open Database Licence. Since there is a wealth of postcode/address data available within the OSM dataset, I would like to incorporate it into the address data we are collecting. Obviously, since the OSM data is currently CCBYSA, if we do parse the relevant data from the dataset, it needs attribution. I am not sure what constitures attribution though, is it enough to include the source as Open Street Map on all imported records, or does it require more than just saying that the data came from OSM? Finally, the project aims also include a query API to allow third party sites to send a postcode and get a street address in return. If a street address is queried that originated from the OSM dataset, does the returned data need to inlude the source or other attribution data? Many thanks, Chris Brierley
