Hi All,
Apologies for any overlap in recipients for this - I very rarely post
to mailing lists, so I am not sure how wide a net for this issue would
be appropriate.
There was a discussion on the #osm irc channel recently about the
possibility of approaching non-agreers to the new CT about any data
they may have contributed to areas where the removal of such data
could have a negative effect on our humanitarian efforts.
Looking for example at how much data we stand to lose in Haiti, this
is something that may limit the difficulty of those that are on the
ground in these places and struggling to remap.
The possibility of haing a bounding box around areas such as these was
mentioned - and there is aparantly a precedent for a users data within
a BB being retained.
Any thoughts, comments, or points?
Thanks,
Larry O'Neill
Hi Larry,
It looks as though there are no specific licensing issues as regards
base data/photos used in Haiti [1]. The issue appears to be confined to
mappers who have been active in the area but have either declined or not
yet responded to requests to re-license? [2]
We will need their individual permissions, the simplest way being just
to ask them to respond to the new terms. Friendly, courteous messages
coming from individual mappers working in the same area have been highly
effective in a number of countries. I would expect it to be doubly so
here. We can then revisit the issue in say, two weeks time and see if
anyone is left.
I am immediately going to ask for a Haiti/Dominican Republic link to be
added to http://odbl.de/ and http://odbl.poole.ch/ Then you can just
read off the names and status.
Meanwhile, you can use the OSMI License View tool to get started. Here
is an incomplete list I just grabbed using it:
Exponent, Brent Miller, cetest, osmapb1, Tinono, rendle, Tinono,
EvaStern, robbert, Sidneyleenen, Elle_M, DDDarek, veugelke, Mirko
Küster, Eddy Frometa, Alfredo Gil, Jochen Plumeyer, llibre
It is good know their status. You can do that by feeding them into
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/xxxx or seeing if they are on
http://odbl.poole.ch/central-america-20111208-20120201-poly.html
