I've already been in a similar discussion about using google maps to plan routes, some suggest this is breach of copyright, but then anyone using a map for any reason would be in breach of copyright so I doubt this is true, copying from a map directly is different than just using a map to work out where you plan to go. > I'm aware he put a couple of caveats in the message such as "I suspect" & "I > would imagine". I have no idea and I'm not a lawyer but I suspect OS has a right to publish and copying from their maps would be in breach of copyright, getting a copy from the local council on the other hand with permission to copy would be a different matter. What matters most is what you copied from, GPS trace or someone else's map, I would genuinely be surprised if you could be in breach of copyright for just looking at a map or using information for journey planning based on a map. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
