Hi, I have read a draft of the ODbL and I fear I don't understand the implications entirely...
I would like to build a mechanically created non-factual work - that work will have as its input data non-factual data created by my fellow employees (we own rights to it) and OSM. (This is a virtual earth situation where I build "plausible" 3-d models from OSM data and rules.) Under the old scheme (assuming OSM was non-factual) I would simply put the derived result under CC-BY-SA and go home happy. :-) I can't tell what I am required to do with the ODbL. It appears that there are _no_ restrictions on how I license/distribute my derived work as long as: - I don't change the OSM data and then hoard it (I do all my edits in OSM and not later) and - My derived work isn't anything like a database. Are there parts of OSM that might be non-factual, and if so, what would the corresponding copyright-based license be? My goal here is not to see how much I can get for how little...just to understand how to use OSM data such that (1) I am following the intentions of those licensing the data and (2) avoiding legal risk to my company. If there is anything semi-official and current, please let me know and I apologize for not RTFMing...most of what I've found is at least a few months old. thanks!!!
