Most software on that list, sir, is virally licensed... But you are missing the point anyway : It is not about what they have released. But about what they don't want to release... To bring the discussion back to maps : imagine a GSM provider that wants to show coverage on a map. They export their private GIS data of signal strength and merge it with OSM, create a low resolution image of the resulting map and stick that on their website. My ideal license would force them to divulge their private GIS data on signal strength used to generate the map so that the community can provide a high resolution map with signal strengths of all providers so that I as a consumer can decide which provider is best for the area where I live... Again, here my point of using a 'severe' license is not for what they want to release (the low level version) but what they don't want to release (the high resolution data) cu bart _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
