[OSM-talk] OSM based printed directory, possible?
Hello list. Newbie here. I work for a small press plublishing shop in my city, for a number of years we have been developing and selling the most complete map of the city and towns nearby, being the de-facto reference for all the citizens, bus and taxi drivers, as well as for tourist in town. Lately we have been interested in osm and, after noting that our town isn't in osm, we would like to upload all our catography to osm (it's quite a chunk of data). As a matter of taste we would like for the tiles on our (printed) maps, to be the same than those online. So the question arises, it is possible for us to have most of our cartography on osm and still being able to print (and sell) our directory? Take into account that at this point we are more worries about legal and community concerns that on technical stuff. Also, if you know any other experience like this in other countries it's more than wellcome. Kind regards. -- Matías Iturburu ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

This may be a question for legal-talk or even talk-ar, but anyway: Didn't find that on the osm.org, may be I didn't look deep enough. Sorry - Make sure you have rights over the data. Namely, make sure that you have the right to redistribute the data freely. - Nothing stops you for selling the directory even if you put some of it in OSM. You would be granting OSM users a NON-exclusive license to the data. Take into account that at this point we are more worries about legal and community concerns that on technical stuff. Also, if you know any other experience like this in other countries it's more than welcome. I'm sure somebody from AND would be able to shed somelight over this. on that last sentence I guess you mean legal-talk AND talk-ar. Correct me if I'm wrong. Nevertheless, thanks for the pointers!

Correct me if I'm wrong. No, I mean AND as in Automobile Navigation Devices, the guys who donated the whole netherlands and that are still in the business of selling cartography. oops :) Will take a look. thanks again ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
