Thanks everyone for your info! I'm not the biggest fan of mail newsgroups cause responding in a comprehensive way is hard if you're working for a few days.
Scruff - thanks for the insight on the license, would explicit permission from them for this project work? or does the license null it? It's supposed to be based off the national open data license but is highly modified. Jonathan good note! I think if we tag different areas of the city - we can attribute things more effectively. Also - I was thinking of adding info to the already built buildings using the City of Brandons info, I wasn't sure of the data use in this case. Based on what Scruff said, don't use at all! Street complete is a great app! I Was looking at using something like that or paper! I didn't have the best of luck with Vespucci. This brings me to the conclusion after all these discussions something similar to what SteveA-2009 mentioned. Instead of having OSM conform to these licenses, would be be able to get the governing bodies to conform to OSM? In many cases, I'm working with my colleges in the GIS community to borrow data, if we could give them a "guideline to a OSM request" document or something we might be able to leverage a ton of data we wouldn't already have. I think this is one of the main motivators behind building 2020. That a lot of this data is accessable-ish, opening it would only help add better data to OSM. (keeping in mind quality, applicability ect) I'll add more tomorrow.
