This would become particularly complicated for works which have no <br>
copyright protection in Italy, but do elsewhere. Best not to rely on it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We are not talking about copyright here. Copyright protects creative works (e.g. a song, a photo, a novel, etc). We are talking about sui generis right as drafted by the directive 96/9/EC. This right is applied within the European Economic Area (and the UK but only if the dataset was produced before January 1st, 2021). It is also the same right the ODbL relies on. And this is a bit troublesome for OSM since the OSMF is a registered in England and Wales.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Andrea</div><div><br></div><br></div></div>
