Yes, I understand that now. After all, we all have agreed to the license when we created an account: "By creating an account, you agree that all work uploaded to
<a href="http://openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">openstreetmap.org</a> and all data created by use of any tools which
connect to <a href="http://openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">openstreetmap.org</a> is to be (non-exclusively) licensed under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/" target="_blank">this Creative Commons license (by-sa)</a>."<br>
<br>Even if someone says that his data is in PD, it doesn't mean anything once uploaded to <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">openstreetmap.org</a>. I could as well claim that my data is in GPL or CC-BY-SA-non-commercial. It doesn't change the license of the data sent to the server. I wonder if all these people[1] have realised that..<br>
<br>So, we can't use any data from the OSM database for a PD map. If we want to create a PD map, we must start from scratch.<br>
<br>It'll be interesting to see how the CC-BY-SA license is changed to Open Database License..<br><br>- Kari<br><br>[1] <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Users_whose_contributions_are_in_the_public_domain" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Users_whose_contributions_are_in_the_public_domain</a><br>
