I don't think that they won "over reuse of Nine's guide" the High Court has found that it was not a work of sufficient creative skill or similar read the judgement http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/high_ct/2009/14.html we certainly have a return to way the law was written on copyright. a review of Telstra vs Desktop Marketing would be of interest to OSM, as reverse engineering a database is one of the things that the "new licence" is supposed to protect against. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
