I'm not really sure about this, but I think it could work if the copyright owner creates some official documentation explaining that tracing on top of their imagery is not considered copying. My French isn't good enough to understand if the mail from geoportail is saying exactly that. But if anyone thinks it would be possible to get them to add a clause like this, we could ask legal-questions if a model like that could work. I don't think a copy-pasted e-mail is enough though. André, could you elaborate the statement that tracing = consulting? I don't really understand how you come to that conclusion > I made an overpass turbo script showing OSM with the Michelin's colors. > I won't show it because the vigilantes would accuse me to copy Michelin's colors. > While doing so, I noticed that the main axis Ans-Amercœur wasn't fully Michelin's colors. > So, this could produce suboptimal routes. > This is because a few N3 streets are tagged highway=secondary instead of =primary. > I certainly did not correct that because the vigilantes would say that it is copying Michelin. I'm still of the opinion that we cannot use Michelin to validate our own map. But here you're talking about using the coloring of OSM roads to look for strange situations. That is obviously OK. If you really want to do that in Michelin style colors because that's what you like to see, I don't think anyone could be against that (though copyright holders sometimes think in strange ways).
