Hello all,I work for a company that has a system that allows customers to 
request location-specific information.  E.g. they can drop a request a specific 
latitude and longitude, and those requests are then answered by users of our 
app.  I just want to clarify that my understanding is correct based on the 
current license and the proposed guidelines.Q: Would using OSM data to get the 
app users' countries from their latitude and longitude (to find nearby tasks) 
require us to open our database for redistribution?  
It seems like this probably would not, by any standard, since we don't even 
store the data.Q: More confusingly, if we used OSM to get the geocode a 
latitude/longitude (or reverse geocode an address) for a dropped request, would 
the database of requests (and private responses) be open?  
My understanding is that the database of locations<->geocodes would need to be 
made available to others, or alternatively that the locations would be a 
produced work and that we should place a copyright on the map displaying the 
data.
Thanks for your help!Justin
