I think that you might be wrong. Actually for cadastre data you can't provide all rights to the OSMF because you don't have all rights. The relevant article in the contributor terms seems this one (sorry list, this has to be in French):"2. Droits concédés. Vous concédez à OSMF, dans les conditions définies aux articles 3 et 4, de manière irrévocable et perpétuelle, une licence internationale, non exclusive et non soumise aux droits patrimoniaux d’auteur, aux droits des auteurs de bases de données ou à tout autre droit, relatif à un élément du Contenu, quel que soit le support. " My French is a bit rusty but I think that this is the crucial part: " non soumise aux droits patrimoniaux d’auteur" Now compare to this paragraph: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Cadastre_Fran%C3%A7ais/Conditions_d%27utilisation#La_r.C3.A9ponse_de_la_DGI "En revanche, la rediffusion de ces données n'est autorisée que pour les produits composites, c'est à dire ceux constitués pour partie seulement du plan cadastral, et sous réserve que soient clairement indiqués l'origine et le millésime des données cadastrales utilisées" Neither am I completely sure whether I understood the French paragraph correctly nor am I an expert in law, but there might indeed be some incompatibility between the CTs and these obligations. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
