Depends what you mean by "problem". If I were to contrast Scenario A (applying styles programmatically as in the geowiki.com example, and delivering it via a Flash applet) and Scenario B (applying styles manually in, say, Illustrator, and delivering it as a JPEG), it strikes me as silly that the scope of CC-BY-SA differs when the end result - pixels on a screen - is the same for the user. If I were to contrast what I actually _do_ with map data (OS, not OSM), which is to take Scenario B (takes approximately 15 minutes) and then continue by generalising, labelling, dropping in pull-outs, and so on (takes about four whole evenings and a bunch of knowledge, skill and personal judgement, none of which is at all connected to OSM), than I'd say that CC-BY-SA's scope here crosses the line from "silly" to "batshit insane". So if by "are you saying this is a problem?" you mean "do you think this loophole should be closed?", no, I don't. I simply think it renders CC-BY-SA an ever more ridiculous licence for OSM. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/OSM-legal-talk-Share-alike-tp5750998p5751623.html Sent from the Legal Talk mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
