Well one assumption I'm making is that everyone is adhering to the license restrictions placed on them, perhaps this would be easiler with a solid example. OSM-F continues to distribute map tiles under a CC-by-SA license and for the purpose of this example doesn't have a terms and condition using their website. Someone from the US comes along and derives some data from the tiles OSM-F produces. That same someone then distributes the resulting data under a CC-by-SA license. At any point is anyone in breach of copyright? _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
