Is there a difference between 1) using one fact from a newspaper article to use in another database, and 2) using one fact from a database to use in another database? Can you clarify exactly what that difference is why one is legal while the other is not (if that is indeed what you're implying)? > It's the same principle that allows Wikipedia to get away with > getting co-ordinates for individual articles by taking them from a map, > and us doing the same for every point of interest on the map. Can you clarify what you mean, please? What is legal, what is illegal, and why? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
