I'd like to see every data publisher as informed and enthusiastic about having contributed to OpenStreetMap as the everyday mapper. Have the Ordnance Survey given permission to OSMF for data to be imported under the terms of the contributor agreement? My reading of the contributor terms is that I have to be the copyright owner of all data I add. But some of the data I've added recently was based on OSSV tracing and as such I don't own the copyright - I'm licensed to use it SS-BY by Ordnance Survey. As such as of the second I added something based on licensed data I am unable to sign up to the contributor terms. Please correct me if you spot a mistake here - I'd love to know what I've missed. -- Brian ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

I already raised this issue with the LWG. The good news is this saves me having to worry about the relicensing if I must say no because of a legal issue.
