Yeah, that's why I assumed, too. > Thus, assuming the shapefiles are essentially the equivalent of > simplified OSM border shapefiles, the shapefiles are covered by ODbL. Actually, it's like 40% OSM borders (hard borders, like roads, rivers, topography and administrative stuff) and 60% own borders, which don't appear in OSM. BUt those borders wouldn't make OSM any better, since they're specific for the current task. > Now, it sounds like you're not tracing very much, so it's possible that > you have traced fewer than 100 features in which case your tracing is > insubstantial > https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines/Substantial_-_Guideline Actually, I've traced more than 100 features, but the "extraction is non-systematic and clearly based on your own qualitative criteria" - okay, not on my one, but on the one who draw the overlay with the pen. But what does this result in? Sorry for asking... it's a real life problem, not a constructed one. And please remember the other question I've asked. I haven't found an answer on the web or the OSM boards. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
