I disagree. And in any case - it does not matter, the regional cuts were used just as an example. I could likewise have used the horizontal layers as an example in my argument. And surely you could for those equally present an interpretation of the ODbL that justifies those. My point is not that you cannot interpret the ODbL in a way that allows all this. This is what corporate lawyers do and what they are good at. My point is that within the spectrum of possible interpretations of the ODbL all of this is on the far side of leniency and the OSMF - w.r.t. share-alike - has already moved their frame of refrence of what is the appropriate/neutral interpretation very far in that direction. And i strongly advise you not to do the same for attribution because you are playing with fire here regarding the social cohesion of the project. > > [...] If you disagree please list cases where commercial OSM data > > users have published derivative databases. > > There is no requirement to publish derivative databases, only a > requirement to make them available to recipients of such databases > and Produced Works created from them. So your argument is that using derivative databases is common practice and map producers routinely make them available to the users of their maps. But none of this is visible in public because the recipients do not distribute them despite them being available under the ODbL as the license requires? I am not convinced. For clarity i repeat and clarify my statement: Share-alike is functionally dead in the world of commercial OSM map rendering. Map producers universally route around it - or at least claim to route around it and their claims are not challenged. If you disagree then show me the derivative databases. > It doesn't change the license at all, in general the guidance is more > -strict- than current practice, with the exception of the multiple > source case where there currently isn't any guidance at all. So you are essentially saying that commercial OSM data users with their blatant ignorance of the requirements of the license have successfully moved what is considered normal in the eyes of the OSMF so they have adjusted their own frame of reference for what they may expect from data users. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
