Copying from talk-au where you re-posted... Nearly 12 months since you raised this thread last.... it was also answered then. Yes, SVG is an interesting case. If the SVG is produced for display it is simplified and normalised, making it a extremely poor data source for re-import into a new database. (same as per images) If however on the other hand if someone created an SVG file specially for the purpose of extracted OSM data and tags, it would be extremely difficult for them to argue that is a produced work and not a database. There is a simple guideline on the wiki: (from 2009) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Produced_Work_-_Guideline LWG discussion on this topic is in the 2009 minutes. / Grant _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
