This would make the data incompatible. Hi Paul, The above sounds like an interpretation of the answer, not the actual answer itself. Could you share the actual inquiry and response so we can all learn from it and understand how it requires additional obligations?

Re: [Talk-ca] Bike trail name check - Vancouver area

Sorry to be a bother, just wanted to make sure as the topic of crude language in OSM and specifically biking trails came up in the osm-us community so I happened on it while looking at the issue in general. Thank you again. Regards, Blake On Thu, Jun 30, 2016 at 4:51 PM, Alan Richards wrote: > I believe that's correct.

[Talk-ca] Bike trail name check - Vancouver area
Perhaps someone with some local knowledge could look into the name of this bike trail and some of the surrounding trails: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/402020492 They look likely incorrect to me (crude language), but what do I know.
