A1) - Theoretically could work as part of the attribution, but it's fairly long A2) - I can't force restrict commercial reuse A3) - Potentially unworkable B1(i) - unclear how this would work for a global map! Would I need to block out areas with their own green map? B1(iii) - again, I can't force derivative works to do this B3(i) - not going to be feasible, even without considering derivatives. B3(iii) - A restriction I can't require of others B3(iv) - A restriction I can't require of others .... </quote> So, I put them in the "chronically misguided" category, but please wake me up when they've been cluebatted :-) Cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
