HI Thomas,

Thank you for taking this effort. For some it is extremely clear that we can use SPW datasets, for others it is extremely clear we can not. If the SPW are willing to officialise this, than we can step beyond the doubt and the divisive discussions.

Since a few months, we have a membership and a board at OpenStreetMap Belgium. Ben Abelshausen, Jonathan Belien and myself are on that board. Ben is also our representative with Open Knowledge. So any of us would be good if they want an "official representative". I would definitely be willing to help out. I live near Brussels. Jonathan is a real Bruxeleer, so it would be nice if we can meet there. We can ask Dries at OpenKnowledge for a little help if SPW prefers talking to them directly.

That's great! Vincent Bombaerts actually suggested that, though I wasn't sure you'd be willing to.

I hope some people from the Walloon side can join too.

That said, I wonder if they really understand the implications of our ODbL license. They can make a kind of contract with us, but that implies that all the data we generate based on that contract are exempt from the contract. If vector data would be included in such arrangement, someone could theoretically import all that data into OSM, after which anyone can use it for anything under the ODbL license.

That's exactly the kind of thing you'll be able to talk about.
However, I don't understand what vector data you talk about. From what I know, the SPW data is in raster format, and it seems we can vectorize it (trace). And like André said, we don't copy the data, we consult it (= trace it or what I meant by using it).

Thomas
