I am wondering if anyone have considered the laws of some countries, at least Sweden, that states that maps and other forms of landscape information should be reviewed before published. This of defense considerations. Probably there is some limitation of the jurisdiction that makes Swedish laws void for OSM.
I am asking because I´m downloading part of the OSM-data to my computer. Thereby setting up a database of swedish landscape information in Sweden, so the laws must apply to me. I have sent in an application for a permit to keep the database and later on (when I got the conversions working properly) will make some maps of the neighbourhood for wikipedia. If you already have a permit for the whole data-base, I wouldn´t have to seek one myself. The applicable law is: Lag (1993:1742) om skydd för landskapsinformation and regulation: Förordning (1993:1745) om skydd för landskapsinformation Keep on the good work /Johan Jönsson p.s. The swedish authority Lantmäteriet have started a nice project Geodata.se in accordance with the European INSPIRE directive, hopefully that will be of benefit for us later on. d.s. -- Johan Jönsson joha...@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - One of many happy users: http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/quotes.html _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
