 No, they are not.

 If they did that (I haven't followed the related threads and I don't
 know exactly what happened) they would be in violation of our
 copyright. One of the way the could stop that violation would be
 to release the images under CC-BY-SA, another just as legitimate
 would be to stop distributing them.

 Having a license applying in an automatic way would not make sense:
 consider the case of product X owned by A and given under a restrictive
 license to B (the usual case with areal pics, btw); if B used
 X together with CC-BY-SA (or GPL) licensed product Y, A would
 find their product released under another license

 1. against their will,
 2. through no fault of their own.

 OK, I am officially more confused about this now than I was before asking.
Thanks for all your input though. I should probably have asked the legal
question separately in legal-talk.
I am not a lawyer myself but I tend to agree with Elena / Simon on the
matter of Bing violating the terms of the license / our copyright
(whichever of the two). Whatever they did, I would say it's fair they take
something back from OSM, they should just have said so. For the huge boost
they gave to OSM, we should cut them some slack though. And what were 'we'
going to do about it anyway? (That's a rhetoric question here, but we can
follow up on legal-talk)

I am still interested in instances of systematic (ab)use of Bing image
tiles in OSM apps, and what your opinion is on use /abuse in the Imagery
Analyzer[1]. This could impact our relation with Bing (which, according to
the press, is just peachy).

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] CT-compatible data recycling imported nodes

2012-03-29 Thread rhn
Thanks for the explanations.
I missed a very important detail: I didn't accept CT with this account. However 
one of the Polish community members promised to mark all my changeset that were 
not imports as CT-compatible.
From this point of view, a lot of my data is clean starting from some commit, 
perhaps except of those which were imported already tagged properly 
(paradoxically...), and those with untouched name.
In other areas, I edited data imported by other people in the same way.

My main hope is that, since I can precisely and automatically extract data 
pieces that I created from scratch, the data in question is not considered to 
be derived from CC data and therefore not bound by CC.
Regardless of the decision of UMP members, I don't want to rely solely on it in 
order to keep months of my work alive - that's why I'm asking for an 
alternative resolution here.

On a side note, relying on such a decision would be ironic - a lot of data I 
imported were only a copy of a PD map :)

Cheers,
rhn

 
 The v0 rule essentially states that allocating an object in the DB 
 doesn't create IP, so if you have an object that has lost all of the 
 attributes it originally had it is essentially a new object.
 
 However in your case that really doesn't apply (IMHO), because what I've 
 seen from your examples is that you actually imported the data yourself 
 and at least some of the original tags have survived. Note that the data 
 would actually survive the redaction process at this point in time, but 
 naturally you shouldn't have agreed to the CTs in the first place.
 
 The preferred way to proceed would be for you to get permission to 
 release the data you imported under the ODBL from the original creator 
 in the UMP project, as you probably know there is an effort under way to 
 organize exactly that in Poland.

  Could you point me to the v0 rule you're referring to?

  If you essentially remapped the objects it may be that some or most of
  your data would be safe due to the v0 rule (regardless of any other
  developments wrt UMP). It is difficult to answer this more definitely
  we would need to see some examples.

  Hello,
 
  Please excuse me if my question has been asked before, I don't follow 
  this list.
 
  Today I found information about the way data is going to be marked as 
  incompatible - the way I understood it, all ways and nodes are going to 
  be reverted to the latest compatible version (i.e. the one before first 
  CC-only changeset).
 
  This worries me, as it seems the bulk of my changesets will be deleted.
  I focused on an area with data coming nearly exclusively from an 
  incompatible source (UMP). Before a license change was even in plans, I 
  managed to replace the road network almost completely with GPS traces and 
  some landuse data with WMS and traces.
  The problem is, I never bothered too much with replacing the actual 
  database objects (takes too much time), thinking removal of source=* 
  would be enough. Let me mention that I removed source only from  nodes 
  and ways that I had precise data about (and would have deleted if it 
  wasn't a hassle).
 
  My questions are: Is it acceptable to copy the snapshot of my current 
  data that would otherwise get deleted and restore it as CT-compatible?
  If yes, should the backup be performed now or is there going to be a way 
  to access CC data after the license change?
  If not, is there any other way to preserve the data?
 
  Cheers,
  rhn

Unluckily that the original source was PD doesn't make a difference
(legally), what counts is the licence you received the data under. 

Just so that things are clear, which account did you use that hasn't
accepted the CTs yet?
