*Is the Region of Peel licence compatible? I see that it has automatic termination on breech (like many OGL clones) but it also adds "ensure that Your Use of the Information does not breach or infringe upon any applicable laws". This may add usage implications for those downstream.(Some folks from Peel came to a Toronto Mappy Hour a few years back. They might be willing to give permission to use the data under an ODbL-compatible licence.)* I believe this is compatible as the UK open goverment license is compatible with it: http://clipol.org/licences/70?tab=licence_compatibility also in the sense of "ensure that Your Use of the Information does not breach or infringe upon any applicable laws" I think they mean like that applies to the data i.e. breaking DRM (which is not applicable in this case) to obtain data and not so much that you have to uphold the law to make sure no one commits a crime with the data(like Ottawa)
*How will you be handling overlapping existing buildings?* Manually through tasking manager, there are scripts that merge most of the data to simplify the task but a lot of it will be corrected manually. *Will you be posting these notes to the OSM wiki? It's a requirement of the guidelines (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines#Step_4_-_Documentation <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines#Step_4_-_Documentation>), and given the recent visibility than Canada imports have gained, might help avoid a procedural reversion.* Yes, there is a reason I put this documentation in .md(mark down), as it is the same format used by the wiki. So all information that is found on github will be transferred over to the wiki once local approval is done.
