If you are given a CC-BY-SA licensed work, they you are limited by by the CC-BY-SA license on the copyrightable aspects only. Other aspects like trademarks or patents that are inherent in the work are already limited irrespective of the CC-BY-SA license. The person who gave you the CC-BY-SA licensed work does not have to enforce you to follow trademark or patent restrictions, by contract or another copyright license. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
