Currently OSM is Creative Commons licensed which looks pretty compatible with their license (ignoring the practicalities of attribution). However the license is being discussed at the moment and may well soon change and/or split. Should I wait until the license issue gets 'sorted' ? I don't see a problem - the CC license the data is under only requires attribution, it doesn't restrict what the license of the derivative work is. And as OSM is looking for a license that (and I quote) needs to give our database the same three basic licensing elements (freely copiable; share-alike; attribution required) as it has at present there's little worry of OSM becoming incompatible. At least, the matter shouldn't delay inquiries :) - James ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

It's free to download (apparently all the ABS publications have been since '05), and includes a dataset of suburb boundaries. It's described as These boundaries have been based upon localities gazetted by the Geographic Place name authority current at the time of the Census. http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/a...@.nsf/Latestproducts/2923.0.30.001Main%20Features12006?opendocumenttabname=Summaryprodno=2923.0.30.001issue=2006num=view= - James ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
