That is because the EU database law does not allow you to restrict the extraction of insubstantial amounts of data, see: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Open_Issues#What_is_a_substantial_extract.3F Also see the document "gradeDigitalRightsIssues" linked from there. > I would have thought it would be hard to argue that 2.25% is "substantial", It is not as easy as that; but I think the OSMF (or we the mappers!) should write down guidelines about that to go along with the license. I am especially unsure about cascading substantialness (if you have an UK extract then London might be substantial but is it still if you have a planet file?).
