---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mikel Maron <[email protected]> Date: 2011/2/8 Subject: [Osmf-talk] Notification of User Ban To: [email protected]
The Board of the OpenStreetMap Foundation was made aware of public admission [1] by User Anthony to using Google Maps as a source for tracing data into OpenStreetMap. The OpenStreetMap project takes copyright and data licence infringement very seriously and will act quickly to suspend or ban users and remove data that is clearly infringing. The community maintains a well known stance on the use of Google Maps [2], and there is no tolerance for willful disregard of this policy. The Data Working Group banned further contributions by this user, and the Board has notified the user directly. From here, the DWG will be working to remove all contributions by this user from the database. If you have any questions about this matter, I can be reached directly at [email protected] Sincerely OpenStreetMap Foundation [1] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/josm-dev/2011-January/005222.html [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FAQ#Why_don.27t_you_just_use_Google_Maps.2Fwhoever_for_your_data.3F _______________________________________________ osmf-talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmf-talk -- _______________________ Leonardo Gutierrez Director Financiero Autobuses AGA de Colombia Duitama www.autobusesaga.com [email protected] Móvil: 3125860894 "Este mensaje de correo electrónico y sus documentos adjuntos están dirigidos EXCLUSIVAMENTE a los destinatarios especificados.
