Note to Dennis: Apparently it appears that all the data brought in from the Federal Government Open Data portal and from Vancouver were not brought in under the Open Data License but under some private arrangement by Paul Norman.
The Metrolink address data import from the Open Government Portal was interesting as they actually compared the Federal Government license to the OSM license and came to the conclusion that it was compatible. This was discussed in talk-ca and accepted and it was their independent analysis that led me to believe we were importing under the federal government's Open Data license. Prior to that I was under the impression that Open Data and OSM did not mix. Currently we're seeing a lot of references to Open Data in weeklyosm h ttp://www.weeklyosm.eu/en/archives/8656/ <http://www.weeklyosm.eu/en/archives/8656/> which leads me to believe OSM is now more accepting of Open Data. <http://www.weeklyosm.eu/en/archives/8656/> I really do suggest holding off doing any more until LWG has come up with a clear answer because I really don't think we have one yet.
