All we need from them is a statement that "a notice associated with the Produced Work reasonably calculated to make any Person that uses, views, accesses, interacts with, or is otherwise exposed to the Produced Work aware that Content was obtained from the Database, Derivative Database, or the Database as part of a Collective Database, and that it is available under this License" (ODbL 4.3) meets the requirements of a notice "reasonable to the medium". Basically, that the attribution required by the ODbL is enough. Some cities have viewed CC BY's " reasonable to the medium" to mean every data source needs to be credited directly on a web map. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
