1) We are not sure, if the new polygons somehow derive from OSM data.
If the polys are either trivial or completely non-OSM, they add a
geometry, not already presend and includes no OSM data. Therefor it
will not trigger share-alike.

#trivial
To my eyes the polygons seem to be roughly drawn from OSM data and in
other cases arbitrarily – possibly derived from local knowledge. You
can find german comments, rather generic ones. These independently
drawn partitions of land seem to reflect somewhat inaccurate or rather
vague estimates of various properties, such as noise pollution,
quality of view or perhaps some worth estimates. I could not see
anything that is verifiable, according to OSM standards. But I may be
very wrong. At a quick glance this seems trivial and of little use for
OSM. Perhaps if those scores represented paid prices or actual rents
the polys would somehow become data about something. But I couldn’t
find any indication for that.

2) Those scores add a type of data for a primary feature not present
in OSM and includes no OSM data already. So, as Kathleen already pointed
out, they quite probably won’t trigger share-alike. Maybe the scores are
calculated from other OSM features in some fashion and is therefor
somehow already present in OSM. But I don’t see how.

Why does the collective database guideline apply? Aren‘t they coloring 
OpenStreetMap derived data? To me this looks like a derivative database.

Given that the attribution is exactly as requested on the website, I would
imagine any issues with below 993 layout pixels is an oversight or a bug. A
friendly email would suffice, but it certainly does not merit a letter from
OSMF. You are free to send the email yourself.

OSM does not contain residential quality of land. Even assuming there
exists a Derivative Database with nontrivial transforms, that would only
cover the shapes of the polygons. Actually quality scores would be not be
subject to sharealike, per the Collective Database Guideline.

in any case they are using a significant amount of OpenStreetMap data
and must attribute. They are actively hiding map attribution for all
screens with less than 993 layout pixels width (i.e. all phones and
most tablets):

https://www.wohnlagenkarte.de/css/e888f00.css

@media (max-width: 992px) {
.leaflet-control-attribution {
display: none;
}
}

This alone merits a letter from OSMF. I have been lucky finding a
mention of osm hidden in the fourth paragraph of "über
Wohnlagenkarte", but it does not link to osm and which has no mention
of copyright or the ODbL.

The transforms they are applying to OSM data do not seem trivial to
me. Can someone explain to me why we are not interested in the data
about the residential quality of the land?

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] OdbL: Section 4.6, Does data/methods have to be released on public Produced Work?

2020-10-27 Thread Kathleen Lu via legal-talk
Tom,
I think the description is rather unclear as to what the polygons are made
of. Lars-Daniel's original description made it down like they were OSM
polygons combined with each other, or otherwise simplified of details. A
quick glance at the website seemed to confirm this.
OTOH, his second email says "the edges of many polygons go across areas,
where no OSM elements could have been used as a reference." That does make
me wonder whether the polygons were actually created from OSM data, with
3rd party data added or not. Looking at the website again, I see a few
examples where a polygon does not match the road network, but do appear to
match other polygons OSM (assuming that some OSM polygons have been
combined or simplified).
(Another possibility is that the polygons do not originate from OSM data,
but were snapped to the OSM road network for visualization purposes only. I
don't think there's enough information to know.)
Again, not conducting a comprehensive survey here, but if 95% of the
polygons match OSM polygons, then even if there is technically a derivative
database, then I think this simply isn't worth our time to investigate.
Best,
Kathleen

The Trivial-Transf.-Guideline asks a trivial transformation to be
judged from a non-technical point of view. The quality of the
transformation itself should be non-trivial.

You explained, how the edges of some polygons go along edges that may
be very difficult to obtain, as they can’t be found within OSM. While
Kathleen seems to assume that they are directly and easily derived from
OSM data. Is that right?

OTOH that doesn’t seem important under the TTG. The TTG asks us to
estimate the modification or addition itself. You seem to be certain,
the modifications are only possible by combination of 3rd party data
and OSM data. From that perspective, they don’t seem very trivial to me.
Kathleen?

Dear Kathleen,

thanks for your response.

The process doesn't seem to be trivial, since the edges of many polygons go 
across areas, where no OSM elements could have been used as a reference. So OSM 
dataset has either been changed or augmented using 3rd party reference 
(knowledge, imagery, data etc.) to create the product. Those changes are 
share-alike by ODbL.

The Derivative Database cleary has to be under OdbL. While the creation method 
might be trivial, the amount of data used for the creation is neither trivial 
in terms of investment or nor quantity: They've used millions of OSM nodes 
(ways, areas etc.) in Germany to create it.

> Why would the polygons, which appear to be simply algorithmically combined 
> OSM data, be of interest?

I don't think the ODbL cares what's in interest of OSM (the "O" in ODbL is not 
"OSM"). This is just an additional "wish" by the OSM community. Also, the 
addition polgons, which I have mentioned, might be in interesting of OSM, since 
they might show a change in landuse, which isn't part of OSM now.

Sincerely,
Lars-Daniel

[OSM-legal-talk] OdbL: Section 4.6, Does data/methods have to be released on public Produced Work?

2020-10-16 Thread Lars-Daniel Weber via legal-talk
Hi there,

https://www.wohnlagenkarte.de/ displays location quality of residential areas. 
Those residential areas haven been produced using OSM data; the polygon area 
results from at least three surrounding paths and streets.

Since the polygons are derived from OSM data and released in public, I've asked 
the owner to release the database OR the method to create the database 
according to ODbL v1.0, section 4.6 - of course without the values of location 
quality. He denied. He doesn't see a reason to release the data, which the 
Produced Work is based on.

In my opinion, they've created a Derivative Database using their polygons and 
they're publishing a Produced Work (the tiles) in public. So section 4.6 
applies here - doesn't it?

Sincerely,
Lars-Daniel
