What is the need to contact all those people after a SPW lawyer made
the situation clear?
To get an explicit authorization, like I said.
Following that, I've been on the phone with him and he told me that,
like many already know, we can use the data from the SPW for OSM.
Not at all.
For anyone having understood the terms of the SPW that are clarified
in my "YES we can trace the PICC" message, we are not allowed to use
(copy) the (vector) data of the PICC but we are allowed to trace the
images of the WMS et al. services.
By "using" I meant tracing while using the data as as background.
I also talked about the buildings numbers from PICC, which make it much
easier to add building address details in OSM.
I had been requesting authorization for PICC and orthophotos, but he
told me that there are other potentially useful data like MNT
<http://geoportail.wallonie.be/catalogue/f3cdf392-a569-423e-889e-186c5e647cd3.html>
(relief) and others.
However, since I'd been asking for an explicit authorization (needed
for integration into the iD editor), he told me that the
authorization contract templates they've got require an organization.
Probably because the data is free of the associations without
lucrative purpose.
First, I strongly discourage using ID and Potlatch. This is what has
led to highly imprecise Wallonia tagging as well as introducing
tagging errors over the years. All that work has to be redone with
correction.
Please use the PICC with JOSM to achieve a 25 cm precision excellent
tagging.
I don't understand, why does JOSM allow a higher precision? Because we
can manually correct the background offset?
But if it's that, I wonder how you correct the background offset down to
25 cm. Do you have a professional GPS receiver? Standard GPS devices are
only down to 3 meters.
Anyway, users will still use iD, so providing them with a better imagery
is a good thing in my opinion.
