Bad news! The AGIV licence of the adressing data (CRAB) is NOT ok for reuse for OSM. I was in the process of requesting a licence.
The story is: you can get the data but when a third person is reusing this they also need to sign a licence. This means that we cannot reuse this data in the OSM-database. At least not copying it, maybe mapping based on it and not copying would be ok... In my opinion this is not really open data, just free data as in beer! I did get a response that they are aware of this limitation and are working on this but there is no clear deadline. One day we will get this data, including reuse, but we are not really there yet. But maybe by then all addresses will be mapped already and OSM will be the reference! :-) I'm very sorry about getting everybody worked-up about finally being able to use this data but there was some misunderstanding about what usage in OSM meant. In our case mapping or copying the data instead of just geocoding on the main OSM-website. Met vriendelijke groeten, Best regards, Ben Abelshausen ben.abelshau...@gmail.com http://twitter.com/xivk
