Welcome to OSM. We're not consistent. We're a glorious anarchic mess. That's why the project works. The data is licensed uniformly under CC-BY-SA (though some people, myself included, dual-license their contributions under a more permissive public domain declaration). We hope that this encourages a broad ecosystem of software, renderings, and other wondrous things. We do not specify what form this ecosystem takes. We are principally concerned with the data. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
