Basically, I think you have three choices. 1) You consider your data to be valuable enough to hire a lawyer to try to figure out a way to keep people from using it without restriction. 2) You don't consider the data to be very valuable, and can release it under a license which allows others to use it without restriction (PDDL, CC0, DbCL, etc). 3) You can not bother with either, and not know whether or not your data can be used without restriction (in my IANAL opinion, in most jurisdictions, it probably can be). >>yes, anyone can extract and use your data without restriction, regardless > of whether or not it's added to OSM. > > Is this true?

I'm not sure what the question is as to "what happens". _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
