No, but they are big corporations with expensive lawyers who are good at drafting impressive-looking EULAs that would be costly to challenge in court. They may also be using the DMCA/EUCD if the data is encrypted, although I don't know whether that would apply to non-copyrightable data (no-one has ever answered me when I've asked that). And, no, I don't think OSM should be encrypted and enforce copyleft through DRM law. ;-) - Rob. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/legal-talk
