Share alike is a very simple thing to define. If you receive something you can only distribute it under exactly the same terms that you received it.
According to *that* definition, ODbL is not a share-alike license. The poster to whom I replied, however, seemed to be of the opinion that data he receives under the provision "share alike only" was ODbL compatible.
Not even CC-BY-SA is a share-alike license according to your definition because you may distribute data received under CC-BY-SA under a higher version of the license, which may contain whatever terms Creative Commons deem suitable.
So either your "simple" definition of share-alike is correct and everyone in real life is doing it wrong. Or maybe it is too simple.
Which was precisely the point I was trying to make. Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
