I disagree in the strongest possible terms. It is not perfectly valid to use those resources for OpenStreetMap and you are advised in every reference against using such resources. Don't copy anything into OpenStreetMap from any published map or other source without explicit permission. Map the things that you observe in your personal surveys. Combine those observations with the information from resources we have explicit permission to use for OpenStreetMap. If you have doubts; don't use a resource. And ask the License Working Group if you need help with related issues. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
