I believe the Nearmap imagery of Australia is blocked for those who are editing under the "1.0" contributor terms. They have agreed to share it under CC-BY-SA. The CTs require pretty much a blanket grant of rights to the OSMF, which is not acceptable to this particular aerial imagery supplier. In general, any CC-BY-SA licensed data or content is fine for older users who have not signed up to the more restrictive CTs, but new users cannot map with it. >Will the same restriction apply to us >all once the switch to the new licence and CTs is complete? I thought from following the legal-talk list that some work had been done to modify the CTs so that you need only grant permission on work that you own the copyright to, and so you could use other data sources, provided you have permission from them to license under CC-BY-SA and ODbL (and DbCL, if anyone can work out what the 'database contents' really means in this case). But from the current draft at <http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Contributor_Terms> it seems that work has been dropped, and we are back to the blanket grant of almost all rights? -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
