Data is not typically copyrightable in the US because it's not usually considered a creative work. That's probably why you haven't found much about it. Example, road atlas sneaks in a fake road stub - a creative addition, hence copyrightable, along with their cartography (color choices etc, bound in a particular way). That's why an atlas can have copyright. As for licensing, I've not seen anything standard, every service seems to write up their own for what you can and can't do with data they provide you. I think this all ends up as contracting law. The typical from using various map APIs seems to be you can use our data as long as you show our copyright and don't transfer the data outside of our API/Progams (E.g. no printing). You might want to look at licensing more generally rather than specific to geospatial. Now of course those court cases about parcels in California are all about if the court think parcel data is data or software.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Talk on Copyright and Licensing for Geospatial Data
Thanks Alex. I'm interested specifically in US law for this talk. I'm familiar with copyright law and how it applies to geospatial data. However, most of what I know about licensing comes from software and the local agency licenses for geospatial data that I deal with. I'll do some more poking around.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Talk on Copyright and Licensing for Geospatial Data
Hi, Landon. You might want to look at Robert Goodspeed's recent article looking at the response to GIS data requests that he sent to hundreds of local governments across Massachusetts. His article (open-acess!) has a whole section discussing the various licensing restrictions and data policies that he encountered: http://www.urisa.org/files/Goodspeed%2023_2_0.pdf Cheers, Keith On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 1:06 PM, Landon Blake sunburned.surve...@gmail.com wrote: I haven't found much at all in the way of information about the licensing of geospatial data.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Talk on Copyright and Licensing for Geospatial Data
I don't know of any good summaries, but there has been considerable discussion within the OpenStreetMap 'community' regarding licensing for spatial data. OSM data was originally published under a CC-By license, but based on the decision of the OSM Foundation, it has adopted a new license under ODBL.
