I am sure, yes. You would be making planet-combined.osm out of two databases: osm-without-australia.osm (ODbL) and fosm-australia-only.osm (CC-BY-SA). As it happens, osm-without-australia.osm is a Derivative Database of planet.osm, and fosm-australia-only.osm is a Derivative Work of planet.fosm. But that's immaterial - planet.osm is probably a Derivative of some other databases, too. It being a Derivative doesn't restrict your rights under ODbL. Once you have the Derivative Database, you are free to use it under the full provisions of ODbL, and that includes doing whatever you like with an "unmodified" version of it. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Going-separate-ways-tp6567842p6570839.html Sent from the Australia mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
