Please check link above for his explanation. Could someone explain me how relation between GeoNames and OSM looks at this moment? According to the OSM wiki you use GeoNames for your search functionality. I think it would be nice if GeoNames and other services could use OSM for their mapping functionality. I think GeoNames and OSM have complementary service to each other and I would really like to see them in good relation =) Peace! elf Pavlik ___ talk mailing list t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk forwarding to legal-talk i read the forum page, and some of their concepts are quite wrong about OSM ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

Please check link above for his explanation. I think that past discussion indicates that the OSM community in general regard interface-layer-over-OSM-date-style-mash-ups as a reasonable use of OSM data. I don't think this is right (from the point of view of copyright or from the point of view of user freedom) but you'll find plenty of support for this position on the mailing lists. Point extraction *shouldn't* create a derivative in a sane universe. So IMO OSM shouldn't claim points generated using OSM data as a derivative. But I forget the current state of play in that debate. 8-/ - Rob. ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
