Hi.
We need to be very careful about intellectual property with a project
like
OSM. We cannot use maps (and aerial photos etc) where the owner does
not
give us permission.
I can understand that this is frustrating when you have spent time on
it,
and you had good intentions, but the original copyright owner won't see
it
that way.
There is more detail on the wiki at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Copyright
Some government agencies give explicit permission for OSM to use their
data. Without explicit permission, this data cannot be used in OSM.

Good afternoon
I emailed the group for the first time recently:
*?I am a basic OSM editor. I usually just correct obvious map errors
I
find while hiking/cycling. I have tried to be a little more ambitious
every
now and then, but I have found it can be quite difficult to keep
other
editors happy with what I do.?*
I am writing to get some feedback from other members regarding an
issue
with another editor regarding Changeset: 112406297 | OpenStreetMap
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/112406297#map=11/-36.7730/144.6082&layers=G>
I used MapShareVic as my source, but was told that this is not
allowed. I
am surprised by this as MapshareVic is the official Victorian
Government
land software.
The background to this is that Fryers Ridge State Forest as depicted
on
the map was completely incorrect, and I was attempting to correct it.
Using
iD, I decided it was better to delete it and start again.
I am trying to edit the map in good faith using iD. I have tried
using
JOSM in the past, but found it to be too daunting and have been
unable to
find any good tutorials on YouTube.
As far as I can tell Warin61 has deleted all the editing I spent many
hours on
Maybe there is someone here who can help me get back to using JOSM?
It would be good to see what others think about this.
Kind Regards
Andrew Parker
