these new Liberal interpretation of ODbL are funny. to bad it's not documented what we wanted when we changed license. seems to be full of lies
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Historic/We_Are_Changing_The_License *"This means that “good guys” are stopped from using our data but the “bad guys” may be able to use it anyway." * *" We believe that a reasonable consensus has been built that our current progress should be to maintain a Share-Alike license (see more below) but have it written explicitly for data."* *"Both licenses are “By Attribution” and “Share Alike”." * *"But what happens if the Foundation is taken over by people with commercial interests?* - *You still own the rights to any data you contribute, not the Foundation. In the new Contributor Terms, you license the Foundation to publish the data for others to use and ONLY under a free and open license.* - *The Foundation is not allowed to take your contribution and release it under a commercial license.* - *If the Foundation fails to publish under only a free and open license, it has broken its contract with you. A copy of the existing data can be made and released by a different body.* - *If a change is made to another free and open license, it is active contributors who decide yes or no, not the Foundation."* On Fri, 13 Dec 2019, 18:56 Frederik Ramm, <frede...@remote.org> wrote: > Hi, > > On 13.12.19 19:28, Kathleen Lu via legal-talk wrote: > > “Derivative Database” – Means a database based upon the Database, and > > includes any translation, adaptation, arrangement, modification, or any > > other alteration of the Database or of a Substantial part of the > > Contents. > > Interesting.
