not exactly - this info from the linz website sheds some light: http://www.linz.govt.nz/home/disclaimer/index.html "Crown Copyright Land Information New Zealand owns the Crown copyright in the material available for viewing or downloading from this website as provided in the Copyright Act 1994. The material may be used, copied and re-distributed free of charge in any format or media. Where the material is redistributed to others the source and copyright status must be acknowledged." i.e. we and subsequent users are given explicit permission to re-distribute and edit it as much as we like, so long as we say who created it. which sounds exactly like cc-by-sa under a different name: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ "You are free: * to Share — to copy, distribute and transmit the work * to Remix — to adapt the work Under the following conditions: * Attribution. You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work). * Share Alike. If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one. * For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the license terms of this work. The best way to do this is with a link to this web page." they assert copyright, but are agreeing not to wield it in any way that is bad to us the entire question i am asking here revolves around "Where the material is redistributed to others the source and copyright status must be acknowledged." and us finding a method for doing that, which we and linz are happy with > cheers, Chris > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: Robin Paulson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: talk@openstreetmap.org; Licensing and other legal discussions. <[EMAIL > PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Tuesday, 1 April, 2008 9:46:39 PM > > Subject: [OSM-talk] linz dataset for nz - attribution methods summary > > > > many thanks to all that participated in the recent discussions on > > attributing data provided by land information new zealand. i've read > > through all that was discussed and written down a brief summary of > > what osm will do and won't do, on the wiki: > > > > i don't recall if there was ever a definite 'yes' or 'no' on item 4 of > > what osm will do. please could someone clarify? > > > > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/LINZ#summary_of_attribution_methods_-_what_osm_will_and_will_not_do > > > > also copied below: > > > > summary of attribution methods - what osm will and will not do > > *osm will carry out: > > > > 1. creating a wiki page with details of contributors, and > > information on how to view the contributor of a specific piece of data > > (through planet.osm, osmxapi, potlatch, etc.) > > 2. adding a permanent link from the main map, to the attributions page > > 3. creating an 'attribution' tag, which can be edited by any > > member of the community. this tag will be applied only to items > > requiring attribution > > 4. ??? creating an 'attribution' tag, which can only be edited by > > select members of the community. this tag will be applied only to > > items requiring attribution ??? > > > > > > *osm will not carry out > > > > 1. adding attribution text to maps, beside each item requiring > attribution > > 2. specific attribution labels which appear on-screen whenever an > > item requiring attribution is being shown (such as used by google > > maps) > > 3. re-directions to attribution text, when data requiring > > attribution is viewed for the first time > > > > > > i think this reflects what was said in the discussions, please correct > > me if i am wrong. > > > > when the list of what osm will do has been finalised, it will be > > passed on to linz for their approval or otherwise > > > > _______________________________________________ > > talk mailing list > > talk@openstreetmap.org > > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________________ > Sent from Yahoo!
