[talk-au] VicMap licensing - help?
Hi guys, Can someone point me to a clear statement that copying data from VicMap is definitely ok? I can't find anything on the VicMap API that says it's open licensed, and all I can find to go on is this one email thread starting 10/10/13 that's a bit inconclusive and unofficial. Thanks, Steve ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

As far as I know no-one has been able to obtain this statement. I tried a while back (maybe 12 months or more) and while everyone I could reach was supportive, no-one would make the final call and provide written approval. If you're interested in chasing this up I can dig up the old email chains and forward them on to you...

That would be great. I randomly, through work, met with some of the VicMap people today, but I'd rather know a bit more of the background before I bring it up. My understanding of the situation is they regard much of the data as "open", but they consider the Vicmap API a "value-add service", hence not open. But I don't know how they consider using the API to trace from - could depend a bit on exact phrasing.
