While putting together an email for this I came across an issue. Currently OSM is Creative Commons licensed which looks pretty compatible with their license (ignoring the practicalities of attribution). However the license is being discussed at the moment and may well soon change and/or split.
Should I wait until the license issue gets 'sorted' ? cheers On Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 11:14 AM, Franc Carter <franc.car...@gmail.com>wrote: > > I'm happy to follow this up with the ABS if no-one else has done so yet. > > cheers > > > On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 5:02 PM, Luke Woolley <lswool...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Well, this is the copyright info displayed on the ABS website, which >> states that the data appears to be under the Creative Commons Attribution >> 2.5 Australia <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/au/> licence >> which means we can copy, distribute, transmit and/or remix the data as >> long as it is attributed.
