There has also been a lot of data imported from Government sources that released data as CC-BY-SA and I'm sure they have lawyers too. > If you can cite some practising copyright lawyers who think we should > continue to use CC-BY-SA, I'm sure we'd be interested to see their opinion. I'm trying to form an informed opinion on this topic instead of simple appeals to authority and other logical falicises to push an idea. A lot of data, as James wrote, in Australia is tainted by CC-BY-SA that has been released by other copyright holders and we, the Australian OSM users, don't have authority to simply change the license and a lot of us are expressing concerns that the work we have put in to adding, modifying and so on will have all been for nothing if threats to remove CC-BY-SA data goes ahead. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
