Re: [OSM-legal-talk] OSM based GPS navigations and ODbl license of OSM data
Hi, 2015-01-08 4:44 GMT+01:00 Stephan Knauss o...@stephans-server.de: For OSM it would be much more convenient when the license says You are allowed to use the OSM data, but when you change it you give OSM the right to merge back your changes if they want to. As far as I understand it, it works that way - if data is publicly used, it has to be licensed under ODbL. Probably we should adjust the license one more time before too much incompatible data is being imported. And I'm asking for stricter regulations considering imports. Data not compatible with future license changes must not be imported at all. Other mappers are building their changes on a weak foundation. Mappers will import as much as they can (caring for their neighbourhood's presence), and when in doubt will import until they can - we've seen this already. And who's gonna tell you what the future licenses are? ODbL is not perfect, but it's CTs that made things more messy, especially they have changed over time (funny thing, huh? do you know which data is under which CTs?). And they make sure that you have the right to authorize OSMF to use and distribute those Contents under our current licence terms, and then OSMF may only use or sub-license Your Contents as part of a database and only under the terms of one or more of the following licences: ODbL 1.0 for the database and DbCL 1.0 for the individual contents of the database; CC-BY-SA 2.0; or such other free and open licence (for example, http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/) as may from time to time be chosen by a vote of the OSMF membership and approved by at least a 2/3 majority vote of active contributors. So you give OSMF right to change the license for data you were able to import under (currently) ODbL, even though you may not be entitled to grant them this right (if you're importing something). So it's just one big bag of data with messy licensing hardcoded in. I doubt you will succeed in any actions you've stated above.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] OSM based GPS navigations and ODbl license of OSM data
Let's suppose you are using data from external source to estimate actual travel speed at various places. Then you are assigning travel speed to edges of road network obtained from OSM. Even if the travel speeds are kept in separate table, to use them in routing algorithm you need to define some relation between your data and OSM based network, probably some relation through Id of edges. In this case the travel speeds are in fact additional attribute of OSM network edges, even if you keep them in different database table. As far as I understand the ODbl license and community guidelines, I think this kind of relation creates derivative database, where you have Share- alike obligation (If you are using it publicly). It doesn’t necessarily mean, your traffic data will be imported directly to OSM. I think, It means you have to publish them under ODbl? Am I wrong?

Hi, as far as I understand the community guideline the creation of a routable graph from the OSM data (only!) is regarded a trivial transformation that doesn't have to be published under the ODbL. I am wondering now what happens when you combine this graph with other (non open) data. One example is Skobbler: http://developer.skobbler.com/features#qualityMapData ///traffic data from millions of devices is being reintegrated into our navigation map and routing algorithm. This means that your next route will take the latest turn restrictions, traffic speed, speed cameras, and more into consideration./// some more information: http://stevecoast.com/2014/05/19/why-openstreetmap-is-now-navigation-ready-for-people-like-you/ Doesn't this mean that this data has to be published according to the ODbL?

Marketing != Reality It is just some marketing blurb to sell their product, trying to derive what they are really doing from it is just speculation. We -do- know that TeleNav has added lots of stuff to OSM directly (for example http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mvexel/diary/28211) and/or are providing such data to the OSM community ScoutSigns, maproulette challenges etc. for use to improve OSM data. Which all is clearly unproblematic, not to say very good.

If not, why? As having all those databases being released might be good for the people wanting the data, it brings no benefit to OSM. The purpose of ODbL is to keep data open. That's great. My opinion is: For OSM the thing most contributors favoring a share alike license model really want is a a clause which forces data consumers to grant a license to OSMF to incorporate modified/exended data back into OSM database. ODbL does not contain such a merge clause. We could start merging 3rd party ODbL into OSM. But then have a hard time to fulfill attribution requirements. And an even harder time to get rid of the data in case of another license change in the future. We need all contributors to agree to the contributor terms, granting a license to the OSMF to re-distribute the data. Maybe we can change the license one more time to an OSM-ODbL. Not only requiring to release data as ODbL but also granting OSMF the same rights as in contributor terms.

See http://osmfoundation.org/wiki/License#Can_third-party_ODbL-licenses_data_be_imported.3F. It works like any other imported data. that's exactly the point. ODbL is not a suitable license for data being imported into OSM. Date being inserted under the contributor terms come with much more freedom to be used by OSMF (and the membership deciding about the open license used) with respect to the license chosen for distribution. So what happens is that a user enters data to OSM (with CT agreed), then data is distributed as ODbL by OSMF. Then extended by 3rd party. That extended data i now less free to use from an OSM point of view. For OSM it would be much more convenient when the license says You are allowed to use the OSM data, but when you change it you give OSM the right to merge back your changes if they want to.

If they are not adding any data, they can simply point to the source (planet.osm.org). If they are adding data, they need to provide the entire derivative database (4.6.a) or an alteration file (4.6.b) with the new contents. Based on my experience, I would be surprised if they had non-OSM data in a derivative database. Far more common is to layer OSM data with other data. It would be nice if be-on-the-road documented their format and provided open-source tools to use it, but this is not a legal requirement. The ODbL is concerned with preserving the openness of the data, not of the data format. They of course need to meet the other obligations of the ODbL (e.g. attribution). ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
[OSM-legal-talk] OSM based GPS navigations and ODbl license of OSM data
Hallo, I would like to study structure of data used in various GPS navigations based on OSM. As raw OSM data are not suitable for routing, I suppse, each implementation in GPS navigation needs some changes in the data. I suppose these modified datasets can be called Derivative Database by the definition in http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/ (http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/). If derivative database or processed work is publicly used in some software tool, the license requires providing the derivative database to the recipients also in machine readable form. OSM data are used for example by Be-On-Road. On http://www.beonroad.com/ (http://www.beonroad.com/) it is posible to download data for various individual countries in files with .bmd extension. I haven't found any specifications of this file format, so It is not possible for me to access and study the data. I can only use them in be-on-road navigation. Are the developers of Be-On-Road fullfilling their ODbl license obligations by providing their data only in files with unknown format?
