Lets think about this in a different way, lets assume that i want to embed glibc in my microwave oven, All I have to do is make the source available, but not in the oven. According to the gpl you are required to have a written offer somewhere in the fine print that the sources are available. Maybe CCSA would turn out that way, there is no rule that it has to be easy. I can imagine that they would be able do just say, here, we got the data from osm and you can get the data from us if you need to. Now the issue of access to the data from the user can be overridded by an EULA and all other restraints, like a clause that says : All our data belongs to us, if you want it back, fill out this FOI form and send it to the legal department, wait 3-6 weeks and please dont call. just thinking out out, I am not a laywer. mike _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
