Every mapper keeps the IP rights over the data he contributed to OSM. But we license our work (with the contributor terms) to the OSM project so they can use our work. That's why they needed everyone's agreement when they moved to ODbL. If you really want you can always take your own contributed data and sell it for example. You own it so you can do what you want with it. Ben _______________________________________________ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
