To: legal-talk and import Hi.
The National Land Survey of Iceland released a lot of data recently under an adaptation of the Open Government Licence. There is a lot of data under this licence and it will require many separate imports. For example, the NLSI's coastline for Iceland has 260.280 nodes while there are, currently, 81.063 coastline nodes for Iceland in OSM. There are many other datasets like this we can import under this licence. The data is, I think, very valuable to us and very detailed. English version of the licence: http://www.lmi.is/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/License-for-use-of-free-NLSI-data-General-Terms.pdf I already asked on the #osm IRC channel and the main questions were regarding the attribution and the appendix. * The attribution requirement, if I understand correctly, is fulfilled if there's a link on the OSM wiki contributors page. This interpretation is further supported by my e-mail exchange with the CEO of the NLSI (in Icelandic). * The appendix is just a notice and serves as a warning that even if the roads and trails are marked as open to public traffic in the data, the traffic signs in meatspace take precedence. It does not require us to forward this notice or do anything else. I think it absolves them from any responsibility if the data does not conform with the traffic signs and road markings at any given time. Could you check the licence and see if it's OK in your opinion? If there are no blockers in the licence, we can start preparing imports and link to this thread to avoid repeats in the licence discussions. With regards, Svavar Kjarrval
