For a start OSMF is not the same as OSM. Secondly Toporama only grants the right "for derivation and / or inclusion in" which doesn't quite sound the same as "a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable license to do any act that is restricted by copyright". When did we start being so relaxed about the importance of getting this kind of thing right? Richard, would it be possible for you to ask Toporama for a properly drafted permission? ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

[OSM-legal-talk] Questions on the Contributors Term
Hello, 1) What is the exact definition of "copyrightable elements"? Does it mean that the elements has a copyright or does it mean that the element could have a copyright? The reason I am asking is because the French version of paragraph 1. of the contributor terms seems more lazy to me than the English one. 2) Where does PD data (mainly TIGER, NHS, NPS, NAIP imagery, USGS imagery) fall with regards to contributor terms, specifically "You have **explicit** permission from the rights holder to submit the Contents and grant the licence below"? 3) same as 2) for tracing from Toporama WMS (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Toporama_WMS) 4) same as 2) for tracing from Yahoo imagery Sorry if 2, 3, 4 have already been answered. In that case please direct me to a place where that would be clearly explained. Thanks in advance, N. ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
