In Europe maybe - however there are countries where database do have inherent copyright separate from the copyright over their contents, for example in Australia. I think the copyright wouldn't expire for 70 years here, which is definitely more than the 15 for European sui generis database rights. I see the qualification that "substantial" is in terms of quality, quantity or a combination of both - but out of interest, is it supposed to mean basically what it means in terms of the underlying copyright/database rights? ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

OK,let me rephrase that: "Planet dumps which are 15 years old will be considered out-of-sui-generis-database-rights, though."

[OSM-legal-talk] New license status
Here is a quick report from the License Working Group as we have been rather quiet. Since the proposal we made to the OSMF board in August and at SOTM 2009, we have been working on a number of small issues raised but now getting on track to make our final formal license change proposal to OSMF members. - We now have a simple human-readable summary of the ODbL initiated by us and hosted at http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/summary/ - A very much re-worked Contributor Terms is now virtually complete and you can see a snapshot at http://docs.google.com/View?id=dd9g3qjp_1kqzg8dhr. Any comments or discussion welcome. - We believe we are now on the final countdown to presenting a formal proposal to OSMF members. This will be based on a slight re-work of this document presented to the Sept 15th board meeting: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dd9g3qjp_2mp8f5shj - While OSMF members study the proposal, we are also circulating it to a number of legal luminaries in the Open Intellectional Property community as a courtesy and for any comments they might makes, especially as to interaction with other projects that are or make use of open creative works and open software. - The OSMF board will meet next Oct 13th. This will be the first opportunity to consider when a member vote should occur. Mike ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
