Hey John, The Legal Eagles of the OSMF Licence Working Group continue to ask for explicit permission (ie waiver) for CC BY 4.0. The rationale is at https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/
You can reach them via their contact details at https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licensing_Working_Group for any clarifications, but it appears they have already assessed the wording in CC BY 4.0. I know waivers can be difficult to obtain, and government entities may have internal red tape or few resources available to supply one to the OSM community. However it's in everyone's best interest, and once we have a waiver on file for the agencies' datasets, they are good to use indefinitely. ..Brendan On Wed, 1 Dec 2021 at 15:53, John Luan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Guys, > > Had a look at this license > https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en > > Do we really need a waiver from the data provider? something like this > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/1/17/AADC_CC-BY_Permission_JK_signed.pdf > > My feeling is that as long as we list the data provider on the contributor > list, it should be fine. > > Regards, > John > _______________________________________________ > Talk-au mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au >
