I think all of these use cases should be ok and we should adjust the
community guide lines to clarify that ODbL's share alike clause shouldn't
kick in here.

Hello all!
I have a few usecases for OSM where I do not know if I can use it or not.
I work for a library where we are building a new version of an application to
handle all sort of collections, for example books, letters, images, music
sheets, etc. The application will store metadata and digit
This point has been long discussed on our local list. What you see on
the ground is the trail markers. One problem is that the markers are
also copyrighted (the colours and shapes) like a logo. Of course, if
you put the McDonalds logo on OSM maps, McDo will be happy for the
free ads and maps are n

IANAL but just a thought... is it legal anyway to copyright route references?
That is what the GRs appear to me to be to my eyes.
Can the Department of Transport copyright the reference "M25" in the uk and

Hi all,
I'm submitting here a question about the legality of keeping French
long hiking routes called "GR" or "GRP" or "PR" in OSM. All these
routes are very well known, have sign posts and references on the

incomplete in OSM)
