You're also<br>> not modifying the map data so all you have to worry about is making it<br>> clear when you distribute it that it's from OpenStreetMap<br>> <br>> See this text for more information:<br>> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ#I_would_like_to_use_OpenStreetMap_maps._How_should_I_credit_you.3F<br>> <br>> The attribution appropriate to your medium I think would be:<br>> <br>> * If you're printing something on the DVD itself or its casing it<br>> should include "(c) OpenStreetMap (and) contributors, CC-BY-SA"<br>> somewhere or a similar text you can reasonably fit.<br>> * In your autorun HTML you should not refer to the OSM license as<br>> "OpenStreetMap.Org Creative Commons License" but rather something like<br>> "OpenStreetMap data available under the Creative Commons<br>> Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license" with a link to the<br>> license<br>> <br>> How will users view your maps? Are you just distributing GeoTIFF files<br>> or do you bundle some sort of map viewer as well?<br><br><br>i will just be including the tiles, no software.<br>
<br>
i will be writting details to the dvd not the casing and i shall mention openstreepmap copyright and any others related., i'll change the text on the autorun html to include your suggestion.<br>
<br>
should i include the raw data on the dvd, ie before i have encoded the geotiff?<br><br>thanks for you help.<br><br> <br /><hr />
