Well done on an excellent outcome! > In terms of the agreement we have to let CD:NGI know of any > inaccuracies in their data or changes to the data imported from > CD:NGI. All data we use must be tagged with "source=CD:NGI". How does this affect derivative works? If I were an evil clown and I wanted to sell a copy of OSM data for one beeellion dollars, and chose to remove all source= attributes (I'd still credit the various sources on the box somewhere, so I'm not pretending to be the sole author of this work - that would be clearly out of order as it'd be flouting the Attribution clause), what happens? IIRC OSM data is under CC BY-SA, so how does the "SA" interact with CD:NGI's condition that their data be tagged? > The difficulty is setting up a process and method for importing the > data in an effective way, while merging it with our better existing > data. We need help. If you have experience with python, java, Open > Source GIS etc your help would be appreciated. Oh I wish I could help, but my skills lie elsewhere. One Day (tm) I'll learn python though. _______________________________________________ Talk-ZA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-za
