Re: [OSM-legal-talk] licenses suitable for import

Thanks Simon very helpful. Sorry HDX is Humanitarian Data Exchange, is basically a clearinghouse of datasets that organizations push up and maintain. There is lots of open geo data available through the site, some of which would be appropriate for OSM if they put an appropriate license on it.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/GettingPermission#Letter_Template3 would seem to be the most complete version of "how we really would like you to release data to us". It is not really a surprise that OSM requires a special case, it is simply due to OSM actually being a special case and

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] licenses suitable for import

Tobias, the best option for ensuring the data is usable by OSM is an explicit statement of permission for the OpenStreetMap project to incorporate and use the data under the project's terms. This is generally considered preferable to a dataset that is ODbL-licensed without such a statement.

Dear list, could you please recommend me licenses for releasing data to ODbL? From my point of view, compatible licenses are CC-license without "SA" and "BY" and (only if possible) CC0 and PD or finally special license, like the following one: Some crporations like "Deutsche Bahn" (the biggest
