Hello all, Sorry to open this up again, but...
I just uploaded my first pic to http://commons.wikimedia.org It gives the option to add a geo location for where you took the photo from. This page gives many methods for doing that, including locating on Google Maps or Google Earth: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Geocoding If I used this method to tweak the position of a feature (e.g. building, road crossing, postbox) in OSM, would it be A Bad Thing? E.g. I take a photo of a level crossing, locate in in Google Maps, upload and tag it in WikiMedia Commons - no problem it seems. Is this different from using the same method to adjust the level crossing node in OSM accordingly? In my mind, both things are just entries in a database. WikiMedia Commons seems happy to share this data under the same licence as the photo I took. I assume Google know about this and don't object. At what point does something become a derived work? yours confused, LT _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
