Hello Martn, I believe I 'probably' don't have any obligation, but I am just being cautious as we do appear to live in a very litigious world and I just want to be safe. It's a case of whether there is some automatic 'implied rights' for users when there are no terms of service. I don't have any

Hello everyone, Apologies - this is not directly related to OpenStreetMap itself but is related to a site of mine which uses OpenStreetMap data so I thought I'd post my question here to get opinions. I have been developing a site OpenTrailView (https://opentrailview.org) to collect 360 panoramas

If it's SRTM it's just public domain isn't it? So if the resulting database is under ODBL I can't see that being a problem. Very much IANAL. Nick -Peter K wrote: - To: legal-talk@openstreetmap.org From: Peter K Date: 04/07/2013 09:05AM Subject: [OSM-legal-talk] Elevation / SRTM data

[OSM-legal-talk] Current status on UK Council footpath data

2013-06-06 Thread Nick Whitelegg
Hi, Just wondering what the current state of what we can do with the UK council footpath open data is? Generally I don't just copy the data into OSM anyway: it's more fun to survey :-) However I'm wondering whether we can do this? 1. Use the council data to verify whether a footpath surveyed

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 prohibit its use in all other publications? Nick -Pieren wrote: - To: legal-ta

It is a bit frightening that this sort of thing is required for a mapping party! Why is the, to my mind, utterly common-sense "do it at your own risk, if you have an accident it's YOUR responsibility, not ours" attitude so alien to the world today? In other words you shouldn't need insurance,
