I'm a little confused by http://openaddresses.io's licensing: they claim CC0 but retain individual contributor licences. That seems to be getting collection/database rights exactly the wrong way round. > Does anyone know which of these (and others) are compatible with the > OSM license? Some of the licences are up on CLIPol <http://clipol.org/>, and you can compare them to OSM's. Usually they're not on the site, and they are all special roll-your-own versions inspired by the UK Open Data Licence. In theory, you can add licences to CLIPol, but it would take a careful legal eye to catch all of the terms. If a city caught the first open data wave and has a licence from ≤ 2011, it's highly likely that you can't use it with OSM. Toronto you can, because they told us we can. cheers, Stewart _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
