The community has a perfectly good idea, as indeed you would do if you actually read the licence. ;) Under ODbL you are "publicly using" a Produced Work from a Derived Database. Your obligations are therefore to produce either the Derivative Database itself or, more practical in this instance, "A file containing all of the alterations made to the Database or the method of making the alterations to the Database (such as an algorithm), including any additional Contents, that make up all the differences between the Database and the Derivative Database." There is no stipulation that the algorithm is machine-readable, simply an expectation that it could be followed by anyone reasonably competent in such matters. So a readme.txt detailing the steps required to transform OSM data into the derivative database will be fine. "Show your working", if you like. Now, please stop being such a self-righteous arse and post to the proper mailing list in future. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Is-it-a-temporary-file-or-Derivative-Database-under-ODbL-tp6501556p6501822.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
