I feel the most relevant guideline in the case of Andrew would be: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines/Horizontal_Map_Layers_-_Guideline
What they do: - using some OSM data of 1 Feature Type [large water bodies] - and producing data of another Feature Type [ground elevation/displacement] - moreover the final product and Feature Type is typically NOT included in OSM data. I would argue that this is different Feature Types / Horizontal layers. I would then interpret the requirements as: Use: Attribution is required. Horizontal layers / Collective Database: Share Alike is not required. -- althio On 7 June 2018 at 09:19, Christoph Hormann <chris_horm...@gmx.de> wrote: > On Thursday 07 June 2018, Kathleen Lu wrote: >> The way I understand the use, the OSM data is used to identify areas >> that are to be discarded.
