No, someone was claiming cc-by licenses we're valid in Australia, as a reason to change to ODBL, if that is the case why did both the federal and state governments of Australia release data under cc-by if it was so weak. In theory we have more problems with the new terms and conditions than ODBL, ODBL seems cc-by compatible, but the terms and conditions allow other "free and open licenses" which isn't cc-by compatible. All that is needed to fix this is add a stipulation for the "free and open license" to be attribution based and the problem, for us, disappears. The alternative isn't pretty, potentially up to 1/3rd of the data might disappear, so we are some what concerned at this point. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
