Personally I have no interest in having legal access to yet another different internal model of the same data; I only want access to new data or corrected data in an accessible format.<div><br></div><div>There is also the option that says that a Collective DB does not need to be released, only the OSM component, and as such I believe that if one combined the OSM data with some other datasource to create a collective DB then one would not need to go through this release process if one was using OSM data in 'an unmodified form'. We will be asking our lawyer for their interpretation of 'in unmodified form. If one takes the OSM data in XML OSM format and puts it in a DB by an automated process then has one modified it? I hope not</div><div><br></div><div>Personally I think the current definition of a Derivative Database is unhelpful restrictive and should be loosened to only include situations where new data is added, and exclude ones where it has only been rearranged.</div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; "><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Peter</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><br></font><br><a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk">http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk</a><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></body></html>
