I tried doing that with the Town of Qualicum Beach, asking it to properly licence its map data for use in OSM, but it brushed me off, telling me to check back in with the Town in November. That was back in July, and since then, I ended up ground-surveying all of the Town's street addresses over the past couple of months, finishing just yesterday.

Hi John,Here is a list of open government licence variants which have been confirmed as compatible by the Licensing Working Group https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/OGL_Canada_and_local_variants. If the municipality you are wanting to take data from isn’t on there you can always email the LWG asking to confirm the licence’s compatibility or the municipality themselves to get confirmation (make sure you tell the municipality what your contributions using their data will be licenced under though).Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 29, 2024, at 09:11, John Whelan <[email protected]> wrote:I note that Tallcoleman has apparently imported city data in Toronto and that federal government and City of Ottawa are on the OK list but is there a list anywhere of which sources have been approved?
Thanks John
