Hi Maning,
Normally many of those problem are solved by issuing metadata along with
datasets. You can state there clearly who the provider and distributor is and
what limitations of the use and distribution have, also the version, last
update, quality etc. This much more organizational solution,
Some sort of release or disclaimer might be a route that you want to
take. Basically something that states the purpose of the dataset, and
that you make no warranty as to the correctness, that resale is
prohibited, etc. Get it in writing that the parties who receive the
data understand what your

Thanks! These are all good suggestions.

I know about OSM and I consider myself an active contributor in my

Puneet,
I don't have a specific answer for "How Much LISAsoft's OpenLS code
costs to Open Source" yet, I'd need to do the analysis, and so I'll talk
in general terms, based on my experience with other projects.
1. For LISAsoft, "Just dumping code into Sourceforge" is usually not an
