(We do not want to make a (semi-)mechanical mass import) OHM and OSM licensing may in the long run not be entirely compatible; OHM may be impelled towards public domain type licensing (i'll guess CC0 but it's not yet decided) for various reasons. it's a topic we have discussed a bit, and a reason why most of us are very careful about how we source OHM data. just copying stuff from OSM is likely to cause trouble in the long run. on the other hand, since the contributors of the railway data are mostly well known figures, you can ask them for permission; it's their contribution after all. > Is it just enough to copy the tags 1:1 and add start_date=* and > end_date=*? OHM would probably not use the abandoned/razed tags, but instead tag them as if they existed; start/end date take care of the rest.
