The principle isn't complicated but the practice is. Not everything merits copyright/db right/contractual protection. If Google steals one street name from OSM, I suspect there isn't a single major jurisdiction that would consider that actionable. If Google steals 5,000, most would. The challenge is drawing the line, both qualitatively and quantitatively. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/legal-talk
