[OSM-legal-talk] OpenStreetMap Geocoded Replication Data and Licensing
I have a question regarding a research project I and my colleague are working on at Oklahoma State University. We are working with a dataset of terrorist events that contains location data such as city name, administrative/state name, country name. We are planning on geocoding the dataset with the MapQuest Open Geocoding API Web Service, which uses the OpenStreetMap data. The Global Terrorism Database (http://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/) we are using contains approximately 70,000 events (although many are duplicates in terms of location) that will be geocoded (i.e. associated with latitude, longitude, etc. from the OpenStreetMap data). My question pertains to the license we are allowed to use when distributing our replication data, which would contain within it some data drawn from the OpenStreetMap data (i.e. latitude and longitude). As this is an academic project we hope to publish, we want to make our data available to others for easy analysis and replication, etc. Do we have the ability to assign our own license to this replication data, or will we have to release the replication data under the ODC Open Database License? Also, is there anything else that you would like researchers to do when publishing work using the OpenStreetMap data, such as using a particular citation, notifying the OpenStreetMap Foundation when a work is published that used OpenStreetMap data, etc.?

Peter - Do we have the ability to assign our own license to this replication data, or will we have to release the replication data under the ODC Open Database License? My read is yes, you have the ability to assign your own license to the dataset you're creating. Note you'll have to attribute OpenStreetMap. Background of this interpretation is here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Geocoding_-_Guideline (Note this document is a draft but not an officially sanctioned guideline, in recent discussions there were diverging opinions).

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] OpenStreetMap Geocoded Replication Data and Licensing
Thank you for the reply. I followed the Updated geocoding community guideline proposal thread from July/August, and just wanted to be sure I was using, attributing, and potentially distributing the replication data properly in our research.

I would suggest that at least a comparison (for all your use cases) with a model based on the information that is used for geocoding is subject to share alike, but nothing else (which has been suggested in this discussion and previously a number of times). I have made a start on this comparison by adding a second column to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Open_Data_License/Geocoding_-_Guideline outlining the position/results of the stuff used for geocoding makes a derivative database but only that and not the additional info approach. I call it the collective database alternative because the idea is that your proprietary data (store opening times or whatnot) form a collective database with the ODbL-Share-Alike location data. It would be great if people would help fill in the blanks, or correct me where I might have misrepresented the discussion.
