Are you refering to the PSMA Admin Boundaries Data? https://data.gov.au/dataset/psma-administrative-boundaries Referring to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/ODbL_Compatibility CC-BY-4.0 isn't compatible with the requirements for including data into OSM as it stands, but if the rights holder(s) explicitly states in writing that credit on the Contributors page is sufficient to fulfill attribution requirements including downstream use in works derived from OSM, then it can be included. Honestly I'm not sure if this is covered by http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution/data.gov.au_explicit_permission, and I'm not sure if the "Users must only use the data in ways that are consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles issued under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).", the latter did come up when including in GNAF in OpenAddresses.io I think. Maybe best to ask on the legal-talk list? _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
