Depends what laws the laws in your jurisdictions are derived from. Sometimes it's anything goes unless you aren't allowed to do it. Sometimes you aren't allowed to do anything unless it's specifically permitted. What I'm curious about is if a document is written in XML can be considered copyrighted, why can't geo-data be copyrighted as well since it's not a database of facts, but a document of information created, in this case, by crowd sourcing. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
