IGN Spain open data for non-commercial use, this is a terrific start. (IGN are the closest Ordnance Survey moral equivalent here) It's worth looking at this alongside the recent study on the social-economic benefits of participation in data sharing infrastructure in Catalunya for a sense of the policy progress towards public geodata in Spain (at least, in parts of it!). http://www.epsiplus.net/news/socio_economic_impact_of_sdi ----- Forwarded message from Iván Sánchez Ortega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Iván Sánchez Ortega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OSM-legal-talk] Spanish Order of Ministry Reply-To: "Licensing and other legal discussions." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Good news, everyone! I think I must be dreaming today. This is too good news to be true. An Order of Ministry was issued yesterday: http://www.boe.es/g/es/bases_datos/doc.php?coleccion=indilex&id=2008/06229&txtlen=1000 Basically, it is the data policy for the geo information made by the spanish national mapping agency (IGN). And it looks very, very nice. I really have to discuss the wording with a local lawyer. As far as I understand it, some of the data is available on an attribution-only basis; the whole rest is available for non-commercial uses. Anyway, this is still good news even if the data is for non-commercial uses. Take that, NMA's with restrictive licesing! :-P Cheers all, -- Iván Sánchez Ortega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Un ordenador no es un televisor ni un microondas, es una herramienta compleja. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/legal-talk ----- End forwarded message ----- -- _______________________________________________ geo-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/geo-discuss -- Piergiorgio Cipriano [EMAIL PROTECTED] ("perchè la terra dei cachi è la terra dei cachi ..!") _______________________________________________ Iscriviti all'associazione GFOSS.it: http://www.gfoss.it/drupal/iscrizione [email protected] http://www.faunalia.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gfoss Questa e' una lista di discussione pubblica aperta a tutti.
