All free advice worth every cent :) But more seriously, I'm no license guru, and you picked one of the main points I'm not clear on, the original CC in this example is "Share-alike" and "Derived works allowed with attribution". > > BTW, I'm uncertain if we're having the same SRTM-1 in mind.

This is actually the nice thing about the national SRTM data, it has been "cleaned" by folks who have lots of other data to clean it up properly. They also provide SRTM-3 with the same license and has also gone through the same "cleaning" process. > Aside from that you're probably not gaining much by using SRTM-1, > because upon Terrain generation most of the elevation points remain > unused anyway - even with SRTM-3. Yeah, ok, but it equally applies to other data files one can find around the place, many do seem to have CC license attached, things like texture files (used on objects), and shapefiles. But if the "derived works" allows it, what other points in a CC license would exclude it from GPL inclusion. many thanks S. > > Cheers, > Martin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
