No, because tracing over Bing isn't the same as importing data. It's producing data from scratch by interpreting an image. There are still legal arguments about this, but there are heavy hints that, providing the T&Cs of the imagery provider don't forbid it (i.e. Bing doesn't, Google does), no copyright or licence carries across from the imagery to what's traced from it. There are similar issues with using imagery to create data as importing it, but they're related to accuracy, not licensing. -- Jonathan (Jonobennett) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
