Hi all Quick question arising from a 'lobbying' conversation:
*If an employee edits the map in the course of their employment, has the work been adequately licensed to OSM/the big wide Open?* According to Copyright Act 1988, s. 11 (2) Where a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work [F1 <https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/section/11#commentary-c13754611>, or a film,] is made by an employee in the course of his employment, his employer is the first owner of any copyright in the work subject to any agreement to the contrary. Can the employee be regarded, as far as OSM is concerned, as an agent of their employer with authority to license the work? Thanks! Edward
