I'm sorry to have given that impression. I very much appreciate the effort that Steve, Nick and everyone else has put into OSM, and I hope that they, and you, are successful in making a profit from that effort. This thread came about because I misunderstood the CC-By-SA licence and because I perceived Cloudmade couldn't be bothered to address my concerns. In the commercial world the data providers would take months pulling apart a reseller's business plan. I think the OSM contributors are due, morally if not legally, some of that respect. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
