Well how small the small print is, is your choice :-).
If you create a borderline case, you can't really complain if there is an extra hoop or two to jump through. So you probably would need permission, which likely would be contingent on a) it remaining true that this is 100% OSM data and b) adding a notice, similar to what Christoph already mentioned, to your product description. Naturally in the case of GeoFabrik the problem is actually finding somebody without a CoI that could decide on the matter. >> A personal note: one of my pet peeves are the awful unimaginative, >> uncreative and descriptive product and service names used in OSM-space, > I don't see why I should call something that simply is an OSM WMS by a > creative name that requires everyone to follow an extra indirection to > understand what it is. I don't really think some thing like: */GeoFabrik Awesone WMS Services/*/ // //100% guaranteed wholesome OpenStreetMap(TM) data served hot from replication./ Really counts as "an extra indirection" Simon
