indeed. one of the myriad flaws (as i see it, anyway) of the CC license is that only the end-product needs to be shared-alike. if they're only distributing tiles derived from the OSM database, but not a merged database... well, the tiles are required to be CC BY-SA, but not their merged database*. cheers, matt *: as i understand it, anyway. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
