I asked on the Wikipedia discussion page of the «Trains in Japan» project [1]. Someone told me that names (that is the only information I retrieved in Wikipedia) cannot copyrighted, so I should be able do to use them. I would be glad if it were the case, but I'm not a lawyer. I have read two articles [2] [3] about judgements ruling that phone directories cannot be copyrighted, they are not creative work. I don't see how directories are different than a database of names (I used in Wikipedia the relationship between kanji name, romaji name, and romaji name). Anyway, I prefer to play it safe, hence this discussion :-) Cheers, Fabien [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains_in_Japan#Free_Data_source_for_stations_names [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_v._Rural [3] http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100212/0220428141.shtml _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
