http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/304218/624301b7f2f9c617/ The OSM project is not happy with this license, though, and is looking to make a change. The attribution requirement is ambiguous in this context; do users need to credit every OSM contributor? Does making a plot of OSM data with added data layered on top create a derived product? But the scariest question is a different one: can the CC by-SA license cover the OSM database at all? -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work _______________________________________________ Ilug-cal-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.ilug-cal.org/mailman/listinfo/ilug-cal-discuss -- The KDE Project : http://www.kde.org KDE India : http://www.kde.in Mailing List : http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-india -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
