On the wiki under phase 4 of the licencing plan [1] it says  Final cut-off. 
Community Question: What do we do with the people who have declined or not 
responded?


Who is the community in the above context, or more to the point who gets 
to decide who the community is?


Regards

Anyone who wants to say something. Note that it doesn't say: Community 
decision. Just Community question.

[OSM-legal-talk] OpenStreetMap copyright credits

2011-02-14 Thread Tobias Wendorff 

Hi there,

I've got a question concerning credits to give when using
OpenStreetMap tiles or data.

A qoute from English Legal FAQ [1]:
1. (c) OpenStreetMap (and) contributors, CC-BY-SA (tiles)
2. Map data (c) OpenStreetMap (and) contributors, CC-BY-SA (data)

The German FAQ translates the first point into (c) 'OpenStreetMap'
(und) Mitwirkende. The meaning of Mitwirkende is active
participants (direct translation *is* contributors).

And now, I've got a problem: According to this website [3],
contributors are equated to donators of data and not as members
of OpenStreetMap.

Now, why are there two groups?
1. OpenStreetMap (the people / the community) *and*
2. contributors

Okay, the and is in brackets only, but who added it and why?
I think, traditional credits were OpenStreetMap contributors.
That's much better, since it applies to the whole community,
but [3] gives a complete different meaning...

From my point of view, these credits would be okay:
1. [Map data] (C) OpenStreetMap community, CC-BY-SA 2.0
2. [Map data] (C) OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA 2.0
3. [Map data] (C) OpenStreetMap participants, CC-BY-SA 2.0

Oh, I also want to mention that (c) is the wrong transliteration
for the copyright-sign - the right one is (C) :-)

Best regards,
Tobias
