Hi, Iván Sánchez Ortega wrote: A *database* is a bunch of stuff in my computer's RAM. *Any* stuff at all. It need not even be in your computer's RAM. And not everything in your computer's RAM is a database (it needs to have been arranged systematically or methodically). Database *protection* is granted only to DBs that have had a subtantial investment on them. That's how I read it too. - I did not invest much time while drawing these two pub nodes in $EDITOR, but I'll only upload them if you slap a ODbL to them the moment they are integrated in the main DB. That was what I meant with the number 3 in my original post, yes ;-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09 E008°23'33 ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
