CC-BY-SA requires attribution. '' You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and give the Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing by conveying the name (or pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; the title of the Work if supplied;'' http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/legalcode and ""This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License"" so the new uploader lost his rights to copy it if he did not attribute it. So it is an infringement, unless you take the view that this data is not copyrightable at all and the cc-by-sa license does not protect anything. -- James Michael DuPont Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova http://flossk.org Contributor FOSM, the CC-BY-SA map of the world http://fosm.org Mozilla Rep https://reps.mozilla.org/u/h4ck3rm1k3 _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
