You cannot /copyright/ the data because it is factual. A license for what you couldn't /copyright/ in the first place is not an analogy of GPL vs BSD. > Anyway, back on planet Earth, there are lots of people who do want > OSM to be virally licensed. You guys reiterating the great BSDvGPL > holy war with pseudo legal arguments isn't going to change that. The amount of people wanting to go PD with their data is probably the inverse to the amount of people to want to keep viral. So try to win the battles you can win, otherwise maybe the best way forward is to ask the users if /any fork/ could continue with PD/CC0. > What do you think TeleAtlas and NavTeq think about that?

As pointed out by lawyers before, the only thing in OpenStreetMap that is getting protection by law is the rendered map, and where applicable the database. Same count for TeleAtlas and NavTeq.
