Yes, but CC-BY-SA 2.0 has a forwards compatibility clause which allows them to re-distribute under a later license: "You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this License, *a later version of this License* with the same License Elements as this License, or a Creative Commons iCommons license that contains the same License Elements as this License (e.g. Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Japan)." > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/License > > From: > http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ > -- > A new version of this license is available.

The URL of the tiles perhaps gives some clues: http://farm2.hv-static.flickr.com/1010/temp/osm/14/13488/6207.png Their main map tiles and imagery are all served from a dynamic source, whereas the URL suggests a small static temporary directory. They'd need to put a bit more infrastructure in place before they could rollout the whole planet. 80n > > Cheers, > Mungewell. > > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk >
