That's kind of my point. If we just import the data as-is, then obviously it's Antwerp who is the IP holder. However, I assume we're not just going to import the data as is, but rather merge it into the existing data, check for errors, tag it and such, which I assume would then make it a derivative work owned by whomever does the integration. It's probably best if we just contact them, rather than trying to guess and second-guess the license here :) - Jw _______________________________________________ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
