</div>Sure. Aren't there AU gov't sources that would be nice to have<br>
permission to use?<br>

</div>This bogeyman again? Which commercial entities? What agenda? Moving<br>
to and Open Data License from an Open Creative Content License is the<br>
right thing to do for an Open Data Project. Using CT to make adapting<br>
to the future easier for the future OSM community is the right thing<br>
to do for our future selves.<br>

<br>
</div>Nope. Explicit permission to contribute to OSM with CTs.<br>

<br>My understanding is that 4.3 requires the Licensee to indemnify Canada against damages etc? Is this compatible with section 6.2 of the Contributor Terms? If I understand it right 6.2 excludes any liability. Isn't this contrary to Geogratis's stipulation in 4.3?<br>
<br>Can you explain please?<br><br>80n<br><br><br>[1] <a href="http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/licence.jsp">http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/licence.jsp</a><br><br><br><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
