my understanding is that, because we have database rights (and possibly other IP rights) in the original database, the re-created database is still (a substantial extract of) an ODbL licensed database. RichardF's findings on tracing over photographs make me wonder whether similar arguments can be made for tracing over rendered images. cheers, matt _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
