Correct, although anyone would be allowed to overlay the Forestry Commission
boundaries onto OSM mapping to create an 'collective work' or a
'collection'. The OSM mapping element would available as ccbysa the boundary
data would be (c) crown copyright. He resulting work would be (c) to whoever
produced it. Not sure yet what the terms of use of the boundary data is. It
would indeed be illegal to build the boundaries into OSM itself.

On a separate note, an OSM map with overlaid crime data produced by us is
included in the Daily Mail top story today.

I will be doing a blog post on the ITO blog soon with some more details maps
if anyone is interested.

Unless of course they printed it on paper, in which case the whole thing 
would amalgamate into one complete work that could be published under 
neither license, and would have to be destroyed ;)

See you in court then ;)

To clarify, the 3.0 license allows ' by reason of the selection and
arrangement of their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in which
the Work is included in its entirety in unmodified form along with one or
more other contributions, each constituting separate and independent works
in themselves, which together are assembled into a collective whole'

I would consider the proposed resulting work to be 'two or more distinct,
separate and independent works selected and arranged into a collective whole
with the ccbysa content being used in an entirely unmodified form'. This
collection does indeed obscure part of the ccbysa image but I see that as
being covered by the term 'assembled '? I also believe it is entirely within
the spirit of the license. If you do insist of responding to this post then
please copy the response to legal-talk and we will carry on there!


Regards,


Peter

I can't find the relevant tag. Key:boat only relates to access as far as
I can see, not to the type of boat. This could be canoe, rowing boat,

Sure, see:
