That is the purpose of the info.txt I have now included in any of the
downloadable XCM files...

"By the letter of the law though, we should be attributing the
upstream authors too, no rush, but I suggest we create a Map
Attribution page that we link to, as listing each author on the
links may get unusably long :-)"
Could you explain that a little further?! Not sure if I understood
that...
Sorry if I didn't explain very well.
"If you want to use OpenStreetMap, you will have to give credit to
both OpenStreetMap and the license (CC-by-SA). See Legal FAQ on
information how to do this properly."
So any derived work incorporating OSM data, must have that, no matter
how far upstream the data was procured.
Here is the specifics from the site:
* If you are using OpenStreetMap data only, we request that your
credit reads at least "Map data (c) OpenStreetMap (and) contributors,
CC-BY-SA".
* Where possible, 'OpenStreetMap' should be hyperlinked to
http://www.openstreetmap.org/, and CC-BY-SA to
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ . If you are using a
medium where links are not possible (e.g. a printed work), we suggest
you direct your readers to www.openstreetmap.org (perhaps by expanding
'OpenStreetMap' to this full address) and to www.creativecommons.org
* This credit needs to appear in a place "reasonable to the medium or
means you are utilising". In other words, you should expect to credit
OpenStreetMap in the same way and with the same prominence as would be
expected if you were using any other map supplier.
Of course, any other data pulled in, such as the waypoint files (each
unfortunately have their own license when getting from the World
Turnpoint Database, although in this case it may be that the files
can't be copyrighted, which would make them public domain). But there
is other data in there too.
Anyway, I was thinking we create a page, something like '/info/maps'
(anything really) where we put in information we know. Then if Paul,
or OSM people, or anyone else contact us about missing info, we can
simply add it to that page. It is a bit like the separate file we now
have for the source code.
Thanks Tobias.
