<p>The additional terms are "a bit of" a problem, however might be
surmountable if they are willing to give us a statement
specifically for the inclusion in OSM (along the lines of that
they agree that the inclusion of the data in OpenStreetMap and
distribution on terms of an open and free licence fulfils the
conditions).<br>
</p>
<p>All variants of the OGL have a further issue in that you actually
have to verify that the Licensor has the necessary rights to
licence -all- the material in their dataset to you on these terms.
This might seem like a theoretical hurdle invented by me, alas it
is not, as some of our UK colleagues can testify.</p>

<div>Hi - this came up on talk-ca, and I want to make sure
I'm not being too restrictive. <br>
<br>
Licence is a near clone of the UK OGL 1.0. Full text is
here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Like many Canadian municipalities, they've added their own
secret sauce, unfortunately. In the "You must" section,
they added:<br>
<br>
<div style="margin-left:40px">[You must] ensure that Your
Use of the Information does not breach or infringe upon
any applicable laws<br>
</div>
<br>
The OGL has automatic termination on breach, and most
versions don't include this clause.<br>
<br>
Would this term potentially add complications for anyone
downstream using the data - say to plan a public protest
that authorities deem illegal? <br>
<br>
The Regional Municipality of Peel's open data person is an
active OSM participant, and they say that it might take
time for permission to use the data under a more
OSM-friendly library.<br>
<br>
</div>
Your advice greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
</div>
Best Wishes,<br>
