IMHO having to waste some of the screen for a permanent copyright would be enough reason for us to change our license. The Google maps mobile app certainly doesn't do this. Under a sensible license, it would be fine to include information about the data license as part of the software license displayed by the installer. Once installed, it's the user's responsibility, as with any other piece of software. If the license requires something on screen whenever a map is visible, we need to change license. I hope that it doesn't but I am not a lawyer. Robert (Jamie) Munro Ps. I think it's completely legit to talk about it here, but I wouldn't take what people say here as definitive - check with the foundation or with a lawyer who knows about CC licenses. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIEvWxz+aYVHdncI0RAn/pAKDEga/q8uKF4+O0aiWSoFK7xL42mwCdG/pw WRYSw6Pqdhd0GycYG8JZgls= =QkRz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/legal-talk
