Hi! No idea what Oliver talked about either, but I work in the automotive industry myself.
I can tell you that some of the major players have looked at using OSM data several times. They decided against it primarily because of the lack of a binding tagging scheme and the basic unreliability of the content. If you build an expensive in-car system you need to make guarantees. The amount of work for verifying, completing and bugfixing OSM data is prohibitive. And even if you are willing to contribute all of it to OSM, you could not. If you standardize ambiguous tagging this would be rejected by everybody opposing a binding tagging scheme all this years in the first place. And even if it was successful, by the time you need data for your next map update, there will be many changes and broken stuff again so you have to start over with your verification. But the licence issue was barely touched in those considerations. bye, Nop -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/OpenStreetMap-Isn-t-All-That-Open-Let-s-Change-That-and-Drop-Share-Alike-tp5799574p5800126.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
