Hi All<br><br>Think there are lots of great ideas for an OSM Press Kit. <br><br>Perhaps I can take it on and start to formulate one that doesn't just include images but has the following:<br><br>1. OpenStreetMap Fast Facts - English and German Versions<br>
2. Link to a dedicated OSM Flickr page for mapping images so everyone can contribute<br>3. A link to Vimeo for video (I'm sure there's a lot of clips out there that could make it into a 'B' roll - which a broadcaster may use)<br>
4. Screen shots of cool apps using OpenStreetMap<br><br>Thoughts?<br><br>Paul<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 1:03 AM, Richard Fairhurst <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:richard@systemed.net">richard@systemed.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>We publish a 160-page magazine every month and in 35 years have never<br>
obtained model release, never been advised to, nor received any<br>
complaints from the thousands of people pictured in the magazine.<br>
<br>
"Commercial use" is a red herring and not enshrined anywhere in UK law.<br>
The issues are, rather, that of privacy and endorsement. If the<br>
photograph is taken in a public place, and is not used to endorse a<br>
particular product or viewpoint, then you are absolutely in the clear in<br>
the UK. If the photograph is of a private place or is used in a way<br>
which implies endorsement, then things are a little trickier.<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
