Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Vector Tiles: ODbL and non-free data

I would also echo the desire that this be near the beginning of the month in September. FOSS4G is 24-26th, so as near to that as possible would save additional travel for many of us that attend both. On Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 11:34 AM, Stefan Keller wrote: > Hi Rob > > Thanks
