Do we have any clear policy spelling out what constitutes "clean"? Presumably there are some principles based on the "derived works" language in Creative Commons (IIRC...) But do we really know what a "derived work" for a single fact is? Does the test "does not contain traces of non-CT-accepting users' work" hold up? How is "trace" defined? etc etc Steve _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
