It's well-trodden ground, but the point is really that those of us with a strong PD ethos actually don't see either of the above as a problem. The first can, of course, be solved by an attribution-only licence which is otherwise very close to PD. cheers Richard ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/legal-talk
[OSM-talk] Meaning of
Hi, I concluded that I'd rather see my contributions in public domain and added the PD-user template to show that. I wonder what does it mean in practice. Is it now possible for me or anybody else to extract all features I have created and which have never been touched by other users? How about ways created originally by me but edited later by others? How should I work in the future to guarantee that my edits will be free? Should I do all new work in some other environment and store it there before donating it to OSM or what? I am now only speaking about creating totally new features, not editing anything done by others. -Jukka Rahkonen- ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Meaning of
Some things I have read on the internet say that in some jurisdictions it may not be possible to place things in the public domain. There are two big problems I've read about. (You might want to move this to OSM-legal.) First is that someone can include public domain material in their own work and not tell the reader. The reader then does not know that they can copy or make derivative works from those public domain portions without permission. Second, derivative works are now under a new copyright and no longer free (libre).
