-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Prabhas:
I wonder if this data can be incorporated to a local or alternative database that can be of use in this situation. About the field papers, I don't see any problem to use this data as a guide of finding those health facilities and correctly geolocate them while surveying on the ground. Using the GNS and other place nodes already in the database, it might be possible to add some of this nodes to OSM. It might. But in any case, the license is a restriction. A very sad one, but nothing to do about it, unless the copyright holders let us upload the data to OSM without that non-commercial restriction. Cheers, Rafael.
