New data and sources must currently be compatible with CC-By-SA, and ODbL. Preferably also CT/ODbL. "CC BY SA 3.0 Österreich/Austria" is not sufficient permission because of the requirement for ODbL, but also because OSM is currently CC-By-SA v2.0. CC-By-SA does have an "or later" clause, but does not permit "or earlier". _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
