Sorry if this has been covered before, but I was just wondering what
the copyright position is with checking details of, say a church or a
shop, on their website and then adding those details to OSM?
I would have thought that this was fair use of the information they
are providing on their website, and if anything would help to promote
their business, but it would be good to get another opinion.
I certainly do this all the time for a street address and other
information since I consider fair use in the way you point out and the
they are not in the business of trying to make money from listing
locations, (such websites I avoid). Also for information and to provide
an implicit attribution, I also add their website as website=.
