The problem here isn't cc-by-sa, it's bigger picture stuff, from what I understand/have been led to believe, the ODBL doesn't limit what license produced works can be published under, outside of the EU there is limited or no database rights, so if tiles are produced and published under PD/CC0/CC-by/CC-by-SA there is no limitation on deriving, selling etc etc those tiles, other than what those copyright licenses limit you to do, obviously deriving cc-by-sa tiles would need to be under a cc-by-sa license etc. I don't wish to complicate this issue, but I'm led to believe that a lot of database rights are yet to have precedents, I think this would be pointless conjecture at this time. Frederik and others were trying to claim there was some kind of implied limit on derivatives, even in non-EU countries, which comes back to my original question about minimum license, or websites needing to have a binding contract on the end user to limit or prevent turning information on tiles back into some kind of vector data set. Then you have a whole other argument over what constitutes a produced work and so on. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
