We also have a number of areas which have got streets with no names. These have been traced (? from aerial photos) and until someone actually visits on the ground we don't have complete or accurate data. I checked intellitrac's site, and I don't think that in 2009 we have good enough data for such a purpose.

There is an increasing community appearing in Australia. The maps are constantly being updated, it's just a problem of having no mappers or community in the more remote parts of the country.

Jukka is of course right; the use of OSM for commercial purposes is legally unrestricted, but if your application places a noticeable load on the OSM tile servers, you will sooner or later be asked to host your own tiles. This is not a legal restriction with OSM in general but a restriction concering the servers you download your tiles from.

This does not mean that the use of servers serving OSM maps is unrestricted.

Yes, commercial use is unrestricted. The license only requires that you say where you got the data from, and if you make a derived product - for example a large poster with an OSM map where all the roads ever traveled by the devices you monitor are highlighted - then that product has to be licensed under the same terms as OSM itself, that is, CC-BY-SA 2.0. Which does not mean that you have to make your picture publicly available but if you do give it to someone, then they have the right to further use or distribute it (including your additions) in any way they like.

[OSM-legal-talk] using openstreetmap
Hi I am a software developer from Australia, 1.We develop a tracking system used for GPS devices, so we display the vehicles on map in real time,.. My question is : what are the terms and conditions of using ' OpenStreetMap ' for a tracking system? I mean can we use it for commercial use?
