Re: [talk-ph] Bacolod.
Here is a suggested compromise. Why don't we replace all the road names of unverified or suspected traces over there with FIXME's. (that way, they becomes temporary 'reference data' only) Then we send gpstogo(plus paper map) and my old garmin 76 gps to Bacolod, and make a game out of this situation. Bacolod volunteers will hunt down RIDE/BIKE OVER all 'FIXME roads' COLLECT additional POI's streetnames along the way. Then we teach them how to upload traces (or just email back raw data for processing by more experienced osm users). We'll just make customized Bacolod gps map (for download), small enough to load even on older map-capable garmins like gpsmap76. I'll lend my extra bike mount (for use by bacolod mappers)... but they must return it back :-) If we can only replicate (similar) osm teams/groups in Bacolod and other key cities which meet and arrange EB's only regular basis to exchange ideas (like what we do in Metro Manila), then we will be able to cover the entire philippines much faster (the osm way).

Re: [talk-ph] Bacolod is still a big problem
Hi, this topic is discussed every now and then. Facts are free, but you can't use the help of copyright protected material. If you only copy one house/street/whatever maybe that doesn't matter. But what if all of us are doing this? You end up with a 100% copy of the map and than even you will agree, that this is a no go. So where to drew the line? It's impossible and that's why the community agrees not to use copyright protected maps even for a poi to copy. What you can to with this maps is comparing for areas which need attention, go there and do your mappings. Or use openstreetbugs to report them, so others can pick up. OSM license allows anyone to use our data for any purpose and without the need to give anything back, even sell it and make money out of your/our work. They only have to mention the license. That's the open part in OSM. But you can't expect to do everyone like this and we respect this. Take a look at the OSM history, e.g. http://www.geofabrik.de/en/gallery/history/index.html It's amazing what has been done only with free sources or donated date in this short periode of time. We should be proud of it and keep the OSM free from data of copyright protected sources. If there are white spaces, give it some time and somebody will do traces and close them. We need more mappers. Also note, that google and others can't give away what they don't have. The images on goolge maps/earth are bought from other companys which own the copyright - you can see the company's name on the map. Maybe this will change if they are using the images from their own satellite. AFAIK they wanted to wait with updating gmaps when they have images from the whole world. IMHO they should have them already - we'll see. There is even an difference in the yahoo images free to copy and the ones on the yahoo webpage which are not free to copy. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Aerial_Imagery On the other hand pls. be aware that not everybody want's to upload this gps tracks due to privacy concerns or some body could find out about one's nice and quiet camping place. Questions about anonymizing gps data arise on the user mailing list form time to time. But in this case ppl. should respond different to questions about the source.

Re: [talk-ph] Bacolod is still a big problem
Hi Craig, I saw this question several times here and there and can not agree completely. I think that Facts/Locations can not be copyrighted indeed, but maps can. It takes quite a lot of work to represent the locations of items accurately on maps. It's much easier to copy from an existing map. (Why would some OSM mappers be tempted if this was not the case?) So it seems reasonable to me to protect this work by a copyright. When you copy from a map, even small portions, you don't copy facts, but a more or less faithful representation someone else made. If you copy Google maps, you even copying someone's imagination ! Here Google has several non existing roads on the map : http://sautter.com/map/?zoom=17lat=10.3468lon=123.91864layers=B0TF Even comparing just the location should not be done, since the map seems offset... The above is also true for the satellite images (although maybe less obviously). Several years ago, I saw a duplicate parallel road on the border of stitched images (Each of them ending in a blurry house on opposite sides at some distance). I was unable to find it now, but I'm sure you'll be able to find some artifacts if you look for them.

I will, of course, follow OSM guidelines to the letter, and will in no way jeopardize all of the hard work that has been done before my very recent arrival.

Re: [talk-ph] Bacolod is still a big problem
Many people already argued that copying from aerial imagery is not governed by copyright law. Case law proved it: http://www.systemed.net/blog/?p=100 However, Google terms of use explicitly do not allow this: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/google-mapmaker-and-openstreetmap/ That said, I echo Eugene's statement. Do not test this slippery and complicated legal argument in OSM. We maybe impatient with the progress of OSM in many areas in the country.

Re: [talk-ph] Bacolod is still a big problem
Hi Craig, Good points overall. I agree that some of these copyright scaremongering isn't valid and that possibly in some jurisdictions (probably the US, but not the UK), copying facts from a map image is OK. But for everyone's information, OSM chooses to be on the safe and cautious side. Unless something is black-and-white (we can definitely trace/copy or definitely not) the project has decided to adopt a strict no-copying policy. It's possible that someone can test the legal waters by bringing to court (in some limited jurisdiction) some of the issues, but OSM is not the place to force the issue. As for Google itself, Ed Parsons, their Geospatial Technologist, has hinted[1] that tracing stuff from Google's own or licensed data and placing it into OSM is a no-no. That's why we are alarmed if we see roads that match Google's imagery (especially if they match the extent of under-construction roads).

Re: [talk-ph] Bacolod
I messaged him and he said that he traced from a WMS in JOSM. It's probably a WMS plugin that let's you view Google Maps imagery. I guess if the imagery came with the plugin, you would assume that it's OK to trace.
