Well the copyright side of things seems pretty simple, especially if people are using CC0/PD, and if there is no contract with the end user that also is pretty simple, as contract law also doesn't apply. The only thing left would be database rights, but as was pointed out, it seems CC is planning to waive DB rights in future CC licenses, but I haven't paid much attention to this because it doesn't apply to me, but I thought some of the current EU specific CC licenses waived DB rights. > And this is not a problem specific to ODbL.

You are assuming CC licenses are the only issue, what about tiles published under CC0/PD, none of the above would apply. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
