If Gregory were to wander around the campus, and mark the bike racks on his GPS, and upload that to OSM, it would be completely kosher. What if Gregory were to plan his outing to collect information by referencing the copyright information in the campus map. Would that make his information a derivative work? I would think not. What if Gregory were to reference the location of the bike racks on the campus map, and then use the Yahoo Map images to locate the bike racks, and mark them on OSM. Would that now be a derivative work? This I don't know... Just wondering where the line is...
