That's somewhat disputed in the US. If you're not "distributing" it, then you're publicly displaying it. But most courts have said it's "distribution", despite the fact that people arguing for "public display" have a better legal argument :). CC-BY-SA doesn't seem to have any provision for public display of modified versions. Which I suppose technically means you're not allowed to do it at all. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
