Section 3 could be a problem. As you know, users of OSM data must
attribute OSM, but we don't want to force them to list lots of other
data providers alongside OSM.

This section seems to require that users of the data (which would
include all users of OSM if this data is imported) provide attribution
to the Malaysian government. In that case, the data would not be usable
for OSM under the current licensing terms.

I'm not sure if my reading is correct, though. Could anyone confirm, please?

[OSM-legal-talk] Use of data from the Malaysian government Open Data portal

[Jangan Kacau]

Hello.

I was informed that here (the legal-talk mailing list) would be the best place 
to discuss about this matter.

Recently, the data portal has released a list of route reference numbers, which 
can be accessed from the link: http://data.gov.my/view.php?view=921 and I would 
like to use it to update OSM.

The terms of usage is originally in the Malay language as stated in 
http://data.gov.my/folders/others/TermaPenggunaan.pdf. So I have requested an 
English translation from the related government agency which can be viewed 
here: http://1drv.ms/1nqOwFk.

I wonder if it is compatible with ODbL? I would be very glad to know about its 
compatibility - because if it is not so, then I could inform the Malaysian 
mappers to not use it for updating OSM.
