I hate to open this can of worms, but I will anyways since I don't see that it's been addressed since the release of the CC 4.0 drafts CC 4.0 licenses explicitly include database rights (sec. 1 (b) of draft 1). How will this work when 4.0 is published and CC BY-SA tiles include the database rights? Existing CC BY-SA 2.0 tiles include the rights under 4b of the license to use a later version, as do 3.0 tiles. I'm not aware of any 3.0 tiles but any 2.0 tiles could also be used under 3.0 _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
