Phooee, all these lists to choose from. Probably most sensible on legal-talk, I think (so followups to there).

Adding a couple of nodes to a way to neaten out the curve: no way. Simple tracing from Yahoo or NPE: nope, probably not, unless your jurisdiction is _really_ friendly towards "sweat of the brow". (Most aren't AIUI.) Putting your GPS on the dashboard, following a road for 30 miles, getting home, uploading the track, then faithfully tracing along it: doesn't look much like original creative work to me. Large-scale I-plucked-this-out-of-my-ass "creative mapping" bearing no relation to the facts on the ground, like someone has just done in Cheadle, Staffordshire, UK: yeah, that probably deserves copyright protection. And taking outside and shooting. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
