Hi, looking a bit further into it, and hearing from ibycus, i have 4 points to mention. 1 - would we be able to get a template (a set of instructions how to grab &convert the data into osm format) 2 there is the land features poi data base available, would be great to get that set of instructions also. 3 im looking at the geobase site and see that they appear to be wanting to be an international data base, so im wondering (to what extent) how much geobase wants to help, (and also geogratis) will want to work with osm foundation? 4 i read that osgeo doesnt want to be part of the osm foundation, thats because of the problem with our cc-sa licence. (just as my discussion with michel, the source tags would be merged (unless the source gets put on 2 notes of the way) so, if cc-sa was adjusted so that all nodes be required to show it source. (atribution would just be in the source, not what the renderar decides todo) if the back end database was free like that; that might make opensource people happy.
