If StatsCan is going to gather more than the just building data under the same
licence, that would be sweet! The other data sets from Airdrie it would be
nice to import, eventually, are address points, neighbourhood and quadrant
boundaries, park benches and picnic tables, and city maintained
Thanks for that update on the current status of the building import! I've
checked the Stats Canada site, and they do indeed have the up-to-date building
data from Airdrie (although stripped of the height and elevation tags). I seem
to be the only active mapper in Airdrie, is it possible for
I'd check to see if it is included in the Stats Canada data first. If not
then the buildings will be available in the Microsoft data which is
correctly licensed.
The open data licenses are a mine field.
Stats is looking a releasing more municipal Open Data under the Federal
Government license.
ODBL also has the annoying part where the data has to be fully licensed by
the data provider: if city buys data from 3rd party and they still retain
rights on it, then it becomes a problem

IANAL but as I understand it, you would have to have them release the
data as public domain, under CC0, or under Open Database License (the
latter is the OSM license). I don't think something like "permission
for use in OpenStreetMap" would be sufficient, as the OSM licensing is
intended to also
If I can obtain explicit permission from the city, would I still need to
wait for the LWG approval?

I believe Toronto has been waiting a couple of years for approval from the
LWG to give you some idea of time frames.

Hi Joshua,
Welcome to OSM, and thank you for your contributions!
To answer your first question: the non-building data sets (parks,
address points, bus stops, etc) are not currently importable without
further effort: we would have to get that exact licence (with text
including "City of Airdrie")
John, that was an outstanding overview of and answer to today's quite workable process. I can only dream that this be written up in whatever now guides this effort in OSM (BC2020 wiki, whatever). Congratulations on developing what looks like it now does allow and will eventually better allow
For building footprints there are two sources of open data that are
correctly licensed. One is Microsoft's building footprints and the other
is the Stat Can released data. The Stats Canada data is basically the
municipal data released under the federal government's licence.
I suggest you first
While I don't see anything in the license that wouldn't be compatible with
OSM except maybe the attribution placement: as osm maintains licenses on
the wiki and not in the data it's kind of "not the same project" and you'd
have to ask city if attribution in the wiki would be sufficient then go
Hi Joshua,
The national data that gets mentioned here is actually municipal data
rolled up into one federated Federal dataset to avoid licensing issues
since the federal license has been approved by OSM.
As for the national import, that's for others to update you on

Hello everybody!
Relatively new mapper here. I've been working on mapping my home town, and a
couple of other places I've been, for the past 3 or 4 months.
I have found that my city of Airdrie, AB has a number of datasets available
under an Open Data Licence:
