[OSM-legal-talk] Feedback requested ... OSM Poland data

2012-03-06 Thread Michael Collinson
I am trying to find a solution that will allow the UMP project in Poland to continue using OSM data and therefore reciprocally allow OSM to keep a large amount of data that went into making the initial road map of Poland and which is still there. The UMP project collects road routes within Pol

Legally there's no downside for granting extra permissions. They are additive on top of whatever licence is used and don't damage anyone else's use of the data. However, it is not in the spirit of the community terms for OSMF to grant exemptions or extra permissions - particularly not if they are

If we need a change to the licence wording to allow Poland to keep their data, lets put a few words a the end of the licence to allow Poland to do just that, and put it to vote as required in the contributor terms. Didn't we adopt the contributor terms just so we have just this flexibility? I thi

Indeed. My point is we can discuss it here on legal-talk, and get the opinions of a handful of people are hung up on the legals and the licence change already. Or we can put it to the vote, and I'm confident in the wider community that we'd get the support of the 75% required to permit Polish OS

Verfication would be a process of comparing my own data (lets's call them A) with osm, likely using some automated precess, that would output a set of locations or areas where the maps differ more than a given threshold (dataset B). Legally you now have three datasets A, OSM and a derivative work o
