IMHO, the simple solution is the better: only revise the wording. The reason is only tiles are downloaded by this code, license of data used to draw this tiles does not matter. If we add something to download data, we will have to use another wording and a reference to ODBL. Related question: what about "traces"? Viking knows how to download GPX traces from OSM servers. But I think we do not advertise about license. -- Guilhem BONNEFILLE -=- JID: gu...@im.apinc.org MSN: guilhem_bonnefi...@hotmail.com -=- mailto:guilhem.bonnefi...@gmail.com -=- http://nathguil.free.fr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
