Hi Andy, Jukka,<br>
<br>
I have created a new entry on the Potential Datasources wiki page: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Potential_Datasources&action=submit#Corine_Land_Cover_2000_datasets">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Potential_Datasources&action=submit#Corine_Land_Cover_2000_datasets</a>. <br>
<br>
I am also posting this to OSM-talk so more people can review the possibility of using this dataset. Because Jukka pointed out that on another page
<a href="http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/metadetails.asp?id=950" target="_blank">http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/metadetails.asp?id=950</a> the copyright notice is different:<br>

I would suggest you drop this information on a wiki page and ask for<br>
comments there as well. At face value on what you have put in your email it<br>
looks similar to other data sets that require attribution. We normally deal<br>
with that as you say by adding the correct source tag and also placing the<br>
attribution on the wiki page at<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors</a> and or<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution</a> (looks like those two pages<br>
should be combined or redirect to just one.)<br>
<br>
As a final confirmation its worth writing to the data provider explaining<br>
the intention and how attribution is dealt with. That at least shows a paper<br>
trail if anyone asks a question at a later date.<br>
<br>
Finally its worth doing any imports under a specifically set up username,<br>
that way its easy to identify the original upload of data.<br>
<br>
Hope these pointers help.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
