Only users that have agreed with the new Contributor Terms can not use Nearmap as a source, everyone else isn't restricted. Which is the biggest problem with the new CTs it shifts the ability for contributors to use sources of data to very few, while giving commercial end users much more freedom, to me this stinks and the contributors didn't even get much say in the matter, yet they will be the ones to suffer the most. > You might choose to keep on mapping and enjoy your participation in > OSM.

No, but it will effect the quality and quantity of map data available in Australia. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
