Hey all, I'm the person at Peel that works with GIS data and posts data up to the open data site so I can probably answer most questions that might come up.
1) I can look into having some sort of change or special case of the licence for OSM if it is a show stopper, but the bureaucracy can move very slowly so it's nice avoiding it when possible ;). I'm not sure what the process would be for changes so I can't say what timelines would be like, either. I'll be at mappy hour next week after my couple month hiatus so no need to invite anyone special. :) Kevin On Sep 8, 2016 2:24 PM, "Stewart Russell" <scr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi James: > > As per the import guide lines I wish to seek approval for importing >> building outlines and addresses in the region of Peel. >> >> Documentation is available here: >> https://github.com/osmottawa/imports/blob/master/Peel-Region.md >> > > Seems like a decent outline, though I have questions: > > 1.
