My complete query which they replied to was: -------- Hi, I see someone representing OpenStreetMap who claims that the AGIMO has given OpenStreetMap special permissions regarding the use of some of various agencies data on data.gov.au: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2011-September/008453.html I would like to confirm if this is actually the case, and if so can I ask why the AGIMO has given OpenStreetMap privileged special permissions? I would ask that the AGIMO grant the same conditions to everyone by a public license to anyone by dual licensing the data under the current CC license in dual with the license given to OpenStreetMap. >We have been careful to point out that (under ODbL) we are not asking >folks who make visual maps from OpenStreetMap to provide secondary >attribution to each and every contributor, so would not be in >compliance with the CC-BY Australia 2.5 and 3.0 license their data is >normally provided under. They have raised no objection to this. Regarding the above point, this means that people who use the data from data.gov.au which they have obtained through OpenStreetMap, won't be required to attribute the original government authority, only OpenStreetMap. e.g. I could extract all the centerlink locations from OpenStreetMap (which OSM pulled from data.gov.au) and then use that data in a map without attributing the Commonwealth of Australia, or any other government agency. If you are going to grant this permission to OpenStreetMap, please grant it to the rest of us, ie. don't require attribution (because that is what it seems you have allowed OpenStreetMap to do by giving special privilege to them). _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
