Hi Eldad,<br>

This link <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License">http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License</a> may also help with
general information. We are evolving it to help folks such as yourself,

<div>Hi Eldad,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It sounds like your meta data is derived from the OSM map data,
in which case it must be licensed as CC-BY-SA.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This doesn't mean you have to actively contribute it back to the
community. You can restrict access or allow users to set up access
controls on your website.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But if someone who does have access to the work decides to copy
it and make it publically available, you can't prevent them from doing
so. The CC-BY-SA license gives anybody that freedom. <br>
<br>
Kind regards,
<div>Simon.</div>

<div>I want to use OSM data/map in order to create a map based
service.</div>
<div>The users of my service will be able to create meta-data
(POIs, trips and path) on the map and share it them with their friends.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please note,</div>
<div>I'm not going to change the map data itself at all, only
storing meta-data that was created by my users.</div>
<div>Is it something that I must contribute back to the community
or something that I can set as optional setting to my users?</div>
<div>if the answer is yes, can I give my users the option to
authorize who can view their data?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
