What you're doing is just fine by the CC-BY-SA license. You're also not modifying the map data so all you have to worry about is making it clear when you distribute it that it's from OpenStreetMap See this text for more information: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ#I_would_like_to_use_OpenStreetMap_maps._How_should_I_credit_you.3F The attribution appropriate to your medium I think would be: * If you're printing something on the DVD itself or its casing it should include "(c) OpenStreetMap (and) contributors, CC-BY-SA" somewhere or a similar text you can reasonably fit. * In your autorun HTML you should not refer to the OSM license as "OpenStreetMap.Org Creative Commons License" but rather something like "OpenStreetMap data available under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license" with a link to the license How will users view your maps? Are you just distributing GeoTIFF files or do you bundle some sort of map viewer as well? _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
