Hi Mark, If there is absolute confidence in that, can it be added to the wiki page here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/National_Library_of_Scotland
And can it be added to the default set of old maps in JOSM? If it is available for use, not point in keeping it a secret. --- https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?spiregrain [email protected] On Fri, 30 Oct 2020, at 6:47 PM, Mark Goodge wrote: > > > On 30/10/2020 18:37, Mateusz Konieczny via Talk-GB wrote: > > > > > > > > Oct 30, 2020, 16:28 by [email protected]: > > > > It has come to my attention that the "Town Plan" map from 1944-1967 > > in NLS is available freely. > > > > What are its licensing terms? > > > > "available freely" does not mean "compatible with OSM license" > > It's out of copyright, so there aren't any licensing issues in deriving > data from it. > > I would, though, be a little reluctant to use it as a basis for > wholesale numbering without any supporting local knowledge or survey. > House numbers can, and sometimes do, change, particularly when streets > are renamed or rebuilt.
