<div dir="ltr">Hi Benjamin,<div><br></div><div>That is a Natural resources and mines dataset and that permission doesn't look to be enough for it to be used in OSM.<br><div><br></div><div>A whole-of-government permission request is intended to be sought from the QLD Govt CIO for the open data portal. The last update to the talk-au thread on this request is below for your reference. You might wish to take the discussion up in that list until your import is ready for this lists' recipients review / discussion.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The context for my reference to the new CIO is that he resided over the South Australian government whole-of-government approval for their open data portal.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2013-December/010187.html">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2013-December/010187.html</a><br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi Jason,<div><br></div><div>I looked into the TMR datasets but all the datasets I could found only contained the major state owned roads e.g <a href="http://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/state-controlled-roads-queensland" target="_blank">http://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/state-controlled-roads-queensland</a> not local roads.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I noticed on an OSM wiki that permission had been acquired from TMR but not from other government agencies. I found a dataset on <a href="http://data.qld.gov.au" target="_blank">data.qld.gov.au</a> that included local roads. <a href="https://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/physical-road-network-queensland" target="_blank">https://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/physical-road-network-queensland</a> but this was owned by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines. There license seemed to allow use on OSM but I emailed them to confirm. Their reply in part was:</div>
<div><br></div><div><i>Yes, in the dot point 3 of the Permitted Use section of the Open Licence it says:-<br> <br>“You may create and distribute hardcopy and digital products based on or containing<br> <br>the supplied data, provided all the following conditions are met “ etc.<br>
<br>You may use the data and create other hardcopy and digital products for your own personal<br> <br>use but you are not permitted to on sell the original dataset.</i><br><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'll check out your links today to see what I can do.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks Pieren, Serge and Daniel for your comments. Will look into your suggestions.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Benjamin</div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div>
