Unless youve realigned the ways based on GPS tracks after you traced from nearmap, tagging the ways as source=survey is incorrect. You can add a source:name=survey or similar, but if youve traced from a source, just because you verify it with another source if you havent made any changes Id suggest leaving source tag as is. > In any case, I expect that when it comes time to actually apply the > new license, any source=nearmap data will disappear leaving behind all > my re-licensable data. That is what one would hope, but no-one has been able to give a straight answer. The problem with this, is how many source= tags do they have to check for and remove? The problem isnt specific to nearmap, it is a general problem for all data derived from sources using differing licences (for example, ABS, yahoo or data.gov.au, just in Australia). It is easier to simply remove every edit from a user than for them to automate the process of figuring out what was sourced from where. > I short, I don't see any problems.

Is it easily identifiable by you or by an automated process also? Have you tagged every single edit youve made, when sourcing nearmap, with their source? I know personally Im sure theres been times when Ive made a quick edit in potlatch and not thought about changing the source tag. > Hopefully some general visualisation tools will be developed well > before the license change takes place. Again, that is what one would hope, but as no-one is quite sure what will be affected or how. Part of the problem also is that depending on when you agreed to the new licence and CTs, they have quite possibly changed since then, meaning that any visualisation of your data that is impacted when you accepted it, would possibly look different now, if the new wording became more compliant with sources you might have used.
