Ah, but if they have doctored an image, taking a sign that might say "JOHN ST", and make it look like it says "JON ST" then they have created something new and original. The image doctoring makes the image clearly a work of (fantasy) "art". Copying their "art" would make infringement fairly obvious... If you were to post doctored images of street signs and then that material were to show up on Streetview then yes, you would have every right to go after Google for infringement... :-) . > Geobase should have all of the Canadian street names, and we can use > those... just need to figure a way to display both to allow easy > copying/transferal. > > Simon. > VA6SDW.... as we seem to be including call signs. > >> >>> James >>> VE6SRV >> >> Colin >> VE3ZAA >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-ca mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca > _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
