Although the way is new, don't the nodes along it keep their identity? >Or another example: I can align the outline of a forest to the road >which I know is its boundary. Yes, indeed. If the road is exactly along the forest boundary then you can again look at the nodes, but if there is some separation between the two there is no clue in the database. Yet clearly, tracing a road from the boundary of a forest, when you don't have permission to distribute the forest data itself under the licence you want, is no different to tracing a road from the boundary of an object you saw on Google Maps and overlaid on your screen. So, sadly, I suppose an 'exclusion zone' would have to be imposed. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
