That's fine. I'm always happy to help. You caught me at a weekend when there was plenty of time to think about it. I won't try and answer your questions about "distribution" because I don't think add anything to what we already know _and_ because there's some academic argument as to exactly what the "distribution right" means. I don't think this is the place to rehearse those. No body can be blamed for finding this difficult. Anyone trying to do something radically new - and OSM is fairly radical - will often find themselves caught by laws that weren't designed with them in mind. Copyright law is not really designed to deal with crowd-sourced map projects :-). -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
