Agreed, trying to ask them would be a good thing. Has helped in some cases in the past where authorities (city government or the like) re-thought their license :-) By the way: Is there a list of data that can be used but maybe not (yet) merged somewhere? Maybe that could also hold information about who tries to approach an authority or in case we fail that data is still listed somewhere to be "usable" for mashups etc. Regards, Stefan _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
