Is it worth documenting something about how any solution can deal with the variety of licenses available?
For example, a composite layer may have both public domain and imagery with a cc-sa-nc license for derivative works. >From the proposal, the Global Layer [1] would show the latest imagery for an area. OSMers may want all suitable imagery, but nothing that's non commercial. Other users may want a PD layer. Some sources may demand attribution. etc and so on. All solvable stuff, but what do folks think would be the best way of getting such layers. Some issue I see is that if there are multiple global layers, there could be quite a bit of redundancy. Sources could be made locally to create these custom layers - and treated like any other source, then what about updates of the sources, etc etc Anyhow, just food for thought, cheers, Tim [1] http://wiki.openaerialmap.org/Technical_Proposal#The_Global_Layer _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://openaerialmap.org/mailman/listinfo/talk_openaerialmap.org
