I see "insustantial" as something that the license can offer to consumers of OSM data, not something that OSM can use as an excuse for including incompatible data. One might argue that anything done by the OSM community is at least "systematic" and while possibly insubstantial point by point, "substantial" when taken as a whole. Incompatible sources are a temptation that conscientious mappers must avoid at every turn. Again, just my opinion. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
