Hello all,
If you go to:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright
you might notice a slight difference. :)
OSM data downloaded after 9am today is now licensed under the Open
Database Licence. The first ODbL-licensed planet.osm file is currently
being generated.
These pages summarise the main changes:
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/ODbL/License_Transition/Guidance_To_Data_Consumers
The main supporting documents on the wiki have been updated but
translations and some of the more obscure documents will need attention.
Our recommended attribution is now "© OpenStreetMap contributors" plus a
link to www.openstreetmap.org/copyright . That page then gives further
details of the ODbL and other relevant information.
cheers
Richard
