Hi everybody,

I've been thinking about the situation and I currently still have some  
questions:

- The POI _Metadata_ (which is shown in a "Popup") is definitely not  
licensed under the CC-By-SA, right?

- Concerning the new license: [1]

This means effectively that the POI data would not be licensed under  
the new OSM license, right?

- What about information not being possible to store in OSM, like  
special overlays or information you need for routing purposes (i.e.  
"find the shortest way from A to B.")

It'd nice if you could as well clarify the questions in my last email,  
especially about the license the data is put under if you click onto a  
point in the OSM-based map to geocode something.

Are there some more use cases related to geocoding for the current  
license I forgot so far? (i.e. other companies using geocoding based  
on OSM data, etc)

Thanks again for your help, and have a nice and relaxing christmas,
Sebastian Kurfürst
