As I told in the other message, even with the best faith, some companies will just ignore ou forever. Showing the product won't help, as even itransport, which is a fairly accomplished map, does not feature them. I made all this mess about legal questions, to bypass these unwilling companies. I kno

Thank you for your answer. Indeed, it is almost impossible to prove you indeed have the right to do anything, in the geographical data area. But to answer to your idea of even bus stops physical locations being copyrighted, we have the following story, that every lawyer in france takes back: *consi

Moreover, concerning "public organisms holding the database copyright over PT data" in germany (as I understood it from what you said), in France it's different: transport agencies submit requests for new timetables and new means (like going from 10 to 12 buses on a specific line) to the authority,

Good evening, i admit it, I know almost nothing about law. I focused on database, intellectual property law. These texts are quite small.

Hi, That is simply not true. I know what I am doing. And the site I intended to make was not at all intended to work like OSM does. It would be based on a massive participation of local, ordinary people, with hopefully very few efforts on their part. Once I'll have gathered more than 1 timetabl

Taking data in small parts, hoping no one will complain is not the way to do it. Get written permission to use the data in a way that is compatible to OSM, or leave it alone. -- Cheers, Chris user: chillly On 06/12/10 13:13, Andrei Klochko wrote: Ok, finally someone that really knows the cas

Ok, finally someone that really knows the case! so. First, if it is like that, then a proper authorization to use the timetables and routes, one by one, granted by veolia, keolis and transdev would do for a great amount of pt companies in france. Correct? I happen to have contacted veolia's directo
