Hello, I have been in contact with the Syracuse-Onondaga County Planning Agency (SOCPA), an Onondaga County NY agency, about the licensing of a building footprint layer they have. My intention was to import this layer after further review by the OSM community and myself. After contacting the agency head about a possible waiver for OSM use ( along the lines of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Getting_permission#Letter_Template_1 ), I received this response:
The Syracuse-Onondaga County Planning Agency has no objections to geodata derived in part from the "Onondaga County Building Footprints" layer being incorporated into the OpenStreetMap project geodata database and displayed publicly on the map. By using the data, however, the OpenStreetMap project agrees that Onondaga County makes no claim as to the usefulness, accuracy or completeness of the county's building footprint file, and the county will not be held responsible for any omissions or inaccuracies. This data is provided as is and there is no guarantee that it is suitable for any particular purpose. Your use of the data is at your own risk. Is this licensing favorable for use by the OSM community? _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
