I am much in favor of clarifying this passage. It's not even clear what's compatible with ODbL means. We should flat out only allow data to be contributed that - is your own - someone else entrusted to you to be contributed (i. e. a public express permission to contribute someone else's data that is otherwise licensed differently) - only requires attribution but is otherwise open (i.e.: no share-alike data). Public domain data would be a good example. These are btw the principles I personally follow and that many mappers that I talk to recommend. Everything else is grey area and potentially puts OSM into an extremely unflexible position in regards to future adjustments to licensing terms. > > cheers > Richard > > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Import-guidelines-proposal-update-tp5726210p5726248.html > Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk Alex Barth http://twitter.com/lxbarth tel (+1) 202 250 3633 _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
