Agreed, my opinion is that generally a scenery generating program should be considered a produced work. It's possible the program reads from a derived database, depending on whether map features were added, but that *database* could be made available under ODbL. The program being GPL shouldn't

I agree that human wisdom is critical to high quality, and AI isn't useful if, at the end of the process, it doesn't produce quality output, but I will challenge this statement: "you can have high quality without AI." I don't think that's definitively true for a global map. It's very difficult to

On the other hand, if the map of your area is completely blank, it looks very daunting to a new mapper, who may be discouraged and abandon OSM (either as too difficult to improve and as too poor quality to use). The map is constantly changing because roads and other things on the map are changing

Looks neat, Nick! I will say that given that OSM is under ODbL, which is not compatible with CC-BY-SA (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/ODbL_Compatibility) I would suggest that you consider using ODbL as the license instead of CC-BY-SA. Best, Kathleen On Fri, May 31, 2019 at 10:22
