We asked for permission to host osm tiles and they gladly gave it ( "internetarchive" <[email protected]>, )
There are license restrictions creative commons and public domain you can see the hardware here. http://www.archive.org/web/petabox.php @frederik, I have not looked at the tiles in a while, maybe there is a bug in the js, but I have never had problems with files hosted there. Also if we are talking about hosting tiles for people to download, I think it is a great solution, that does not mean you have to host the tiles from osm.org on there for displaying. I am just saying there are options for hosting tiles out there. mike On Sat, Oct 8, 2011 at 8:30 PM, Phil Endecott < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > > Mike Dupont wrote: > >> Hi, >> we have experimented with hosting the tiles on archive.org >> there are no size limits or bandwith limits, >> http://ia600606.us.archive.**org/31/items/SharedMap2/index.**html<http://ia600606.us.archive.org/31/items/SharedMap2/index.html> >> > > Can you clarify this a bit?
