Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Is this clickthrough agreement compatible with OSM?
Replying to myself here but... The city sent me a prompt reply to my email. They're big fans of our work and would like to help. I will probably be meeting with one of them in the coming week to discuss ways that we can collaborate and what data sets we would like access to. I wanted to ask here what exactly I need to ask for with respect to licensing? Just explicit permission to use the data in OSM? Anything else?

I must have missed that particular section somehow. I sent off an email to ask the city if we could get the data under a license we could use. We'll see what happens. As to how many OSMers are in the city its hard to say exactly. There are a few people working on the map pretty frequently and a lot of one time editors who just edit one or two points. Interestingly one of the last one time editors had the user name Monica at sfgov. Greg ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

Nonetheless, it's not one of the worse licenses I've seen. I guess that SFgov would be willing to share some data if asked nicely. Speaking of which, how many people from the OSM-US "chapter" are there in SF? A meeting between OSM-US and SFgov could prove useful IMHO.

I don't see any grant of rights to the user beyond the permission to download. Section IV grants the city all rights to derivatives and no rights to you to make those derivatives. ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

I've been considering bringing in some of the data available at http://www.datasf.org . Most of it is behind this clickthrough agreement: http://gispub02.sfgov.org/website/sfshare/index2.asp . I think it would be okay but I thought I would ask here before I really started doing any work on it.
