So we can make sure everyone meets - Bob i see you're on the okscotland attendee list already which is great because we're well overcapacity - and even raise this as a test case at their clinic, if they have that kind of flexibility. Bob, i did forward Chris and Petr the original mail from Frederik lasy week, if there's any followup I'll definitely cc you (and look forward to meeting on Thursday!) I could also *try* asking JISC Legal, it would be useful to get stable advisory words wrt ODbL from them. cheers, jo -- ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Re: [Talk-GB] National Map Library of Scotland API
Hi, I have been in touch with them and they are keen that we should be allowed to use their data so that we can create derived information that we can use for Openstreetmap. They have told me that they are willing to use the Open Database Licence with OSM they may just need some clarification of some minor details I think the only problem is that that they have a great deal of much older maps which they hope to eventually put online. These images are the ones that under law they need to protect. However derived data from them they would be ok with. Is there anyone on the list that has experience with licensing that could get in touch with them. I am happy to be an intermediary and I have met them more than once and they know me. I would just like a little backup because this could be very beneficial to us in openstreetmap and to the Library. It would be beneficial to the library because they get more interest and recognition for their work If there are any people that are good at licencing please either contact me or to them directly There contact information is on http://geo.nls.uk/maps/api/ If you do contact them could you please CC me just to keep me in the loop Cheers Bob --- On Wed, 5/5/10, Frederik Ramm wrote: From: Frederik Ramm Subject: Re: [Talk-GB] National Map Library of Scotland API To: "Bob Kerr" Cc: Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org Date: Wednesday, 5 May, 2010, 20:08 Hi, Bob Kerr wrote: > The data released has some overlap with the data that we already have but it > does go into more detail than ours. The license is also compatible with ours. Perhaps they could be approached cautiously and asked whether they would consider allowing derived information to be published under ODbL as it is still not entirely impossible that we'll want to use that license some time in the future.
