substantial itself is not defined, so we have a guideline for it http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Substantial_Defined looking at the definition (which is negative, these are for insubstantialness): * Less than 100 Features. all UK pubs is likely to be more than 100 features. * More that 100 Features only if the extraction is non-systematic and clearly based on your own qualitative criteria for example an extract of all the the locations of restaurants you have visited for a personal map to share with friends or use the locations of a selection of historic buildings as an adjunct in a book you are writing, we would regard that as non Substantial. The systematic extraction of all eating places within an area or at all castles within an area would be considered to be systematic. looks like all UK pubs would be considered systematic, therefore substantial. * The features relating to an area of up to 1,000 inhabitants which can be a small densely populated area such as a European village or can be a large sparsely-populated area for example a section of the Australian bush. UK population is almost 61 million, so it looks substantial on this count too. are you suggesting that we change our guideline on what is substantial? > Why would we want to make guidelines that are "null and void" in the EU?
