<p dir="ltr">I am surprised at Joel's summarization that the 7 step use case he listed in his original email is prohibited. If I were to show flight schedules obtained from <a href="http://flightstats.com">flightstats.com</a> on an OSM map from mapbox, will that be prohibited under odbl? What if I independently collect otherwise purchase data for open and close hours for a merchant store and show all that on a MapQuest open map? In both use cases above, I will have to take at least place coordinates, bounding boxes and also tags from OSM. Is that prohibited? </p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks. </p>
