There must be a way to know the last person who modified the data. The best thing to do is to get in touch with him.
Some of the data may be "legal", if, for instance, the person has a good knowledge of the area, and uses Yahoo! pictures. To have a complete set of data, the person may have used some other sources for some data. Deleting everything may be a mistake. Keeping everything also.... ----- Mail Original ----- De: "AdamC" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> À: talk@openstreetmap.org Envoyé: Mercredi 10 Septembre 2008 22:00:49 GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Berne / Rome / Stockholm / Vienne Objet: [OSM-talk] Possible copyright data. I have suspicions that data on the map may have been copied from a copyrighted source. The area was drawn up very quickly with very few GPS traces uploaded for that area. Despite the lack of GPS data, the maps are very detailed, even down to footpath level and walk-ways between . Also, some of the data is inaccurate - specifically, a boundary is incorrect and refers to where the boundary used to be several years ago (possibly even before Openstreetmap started). However, the boundary has since moved. I don't have the time to trace GPS data and key this in. So in light of this possible problem, how do we further check the source of the data and then, if necessary, go about rectifying it? Obviously, I'd prefer if the data were bona-fide. :-) TIA Adam -- You back your data up on the same planet?
