It might help if the person who chases the licence violation is one of the copyright holders in the map displayed. So if the case concerns a map of Helsinki, pass it on to the Helsinki mappers - one of whom will see his or her own work - and they will be able to say directly, you are infringing my copyright. A local mapper is also better placed to contact organizations in their native language and to be familiar with local laws. The LWG can co-ordinate the process - and contact directly when there is no local angle involved, as with a map of the whole world - but I think there is some value in decentralizing the licence checking, as is done for the mapping itself. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
