Re: [Talk-ca] [Imports] Ottawa Buildings & Addresses [Statistics Canada project]
It seems like with direct permission for the building footprint data the licencing issue becomes irrelevant. However, determining the compatibility of the license is still important so we can avoid having these types of discussions for all the other bits of data the city provides. But this one in question seems to have the go ahead from the City of Ottawa directly. It's also to my understanding that the spirit of OSM is to contribute data to the map, which seems to be precisely what this import is trying to accomplish.

I see that, despite the lack of approval from LWG, two users have taken the unilateral step of starting the import: * https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/45843129 * https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/45720673 One of the import user names appears to me to be a direct slight to OSM contributors from another country. This is not acceptable. This is quite un-Canadian, and contrary to the spirit of OSM. Stewart ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
