Hi Jonathan,<div><br></div><div>I'm looking at the Case 2 (publish something based on OSM and nothing else). I think we need a clarification on what the "<span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">unmodified OSM database" means. For example: it's a common practice to simplify the line and polygon artwork when producing SVGs or PDFs (to reduce the file size and make it easier for low-powered mobile devices to render the artwork). This simplification is done algorithmically, without any external data. This is just one example. </span></div>

Some points deliberately simplified for readability. C&C welcome.<br>

As I was going through all the ways one might make a derivative database, it struck me that there's an obvious way of dodging this - to put whatever information you want to display into OSM first. I found the bulk import guidelines, but nothing really on what kinds of business data might be desirable/undesirable in OSM. Is there anything anywhere that gives examples of things we wouldn't want - like marketing slogans and product descriptions in place names, for example?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
