Well, it would always be limited to whatever data you actually export and merge. So in theory you could just export the pub-nodes without the timestamps. And yes I know that the GSM company could then just use the same principle and only export a low resolution version of their signal strength database to merge with OSM. And that would then probably be where community pressure comes in : the GSM company would likely be perceived as abusing a legal loophole while you would be perceived as being protecting your own privacy while you are both actually using the same principle. And I should note that while this would be my ideal license I think it is would to be totally impractical to actually implement. But it is the yardstick with which I measure other license proposals... cu bart _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
