This is a canard and I wish it would stop coming up. ODbL does _not_ say that Produced Works can be released entirely without restriction (US "public domain"). 4.3 is very clear that "if you Publicly Use a Produced Work, You must include a notice associated with the Produced Work reasonably calculated to make any Person that uses, views, accesses, interacts with, or is otherwise exposed to the Produced Work aware that Content was obtained from the Database, Derivative Database, or the Database as part of a Collective Database, and that it is available under this License". OS OpenData is released under an attribution-only licence (compatible with CC-BY) and the terms of attribution are, in my entirely unqualified view, satisfied by ODbL 4.3. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/building-shapes-from-OS-Street-View-tp5091506p5093953.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
