Hi, Regarding the attribution, it might be worthwhile to inform them that OSM is doing this for a number of other sources via the "source" tag. Might be also interesting to inform them of other cities using "opendata" licenses (There a number of them in France).
They will probably ask for a legal representative of OSMF. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters. Someone is (was?) working on a local chapter for Belgium, apparently? Thinking about it, Belgium has the notion of "Association de fait" ( http://www.belgium.be/fr/economie/entreprise/creation/types_de_societe/associations/). It has no jurisdictional existence like an ASBL has, but, assuming OSMF endorsement, it might be a sufficient (and lightweight) way to act as a representative of the OSMF, which is a legal entity... If I can do something to help (I' a brusseleer, too), don't hesitate. - Chris - On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 11:51, Nicolas Pettiaux <nico...@pettiaux.be> wrote: > Thanks for the info > > I am considering to recontact CIRB, who manages not to say own the > URBIS database of Brussels GIS info, including cadastre, ...
