It seems there is 2 things in play here, 1 deriving information aka copying, 2 and simply a fact that is being stated. It seems to me most copyright questions will tend to err on the side of caution but this is someone's opinion and not a legal opinion, I wish there was a way to get proper legal advice than conjecture and non-lawyer legal opinions which are next to useless from what I've come to know of courts and what geeks think the law is/should be. If you already know a fact and use street view to confirm it, I can't see how this can be copying since it's something you already know about some place, nothing has been derived. On the other hand if you are pulling unknown information this could be considered copying, but since it's also a fact not a collection of information this is where proper legal advice is needed, rather than geek opinions which have no basis in law. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
