Hi again, everybody. I had a talk on #osm about import tools, license issues and imports in general and had a read of http://www.dublinked.com/?q=faq again.
I will send an inquiry e-mail to them about the specific license on their street names’ dataset, and see what they'll say Their mission is to provide open data, they say, so it should be fairly straight-forward to get this data under OSM-compatible license or PD. I’ll hope to clear it out before the Hack Day.
