<div dir="ltr">Hi Russell,<div><br></div><div> I've been involved in a discussion with VicMap (Peter Debicki specifically) on this issue, but I've dropped the ball (or at least am holding on to it a bit too long).</div><div><br></div><div>Here's the short version:</div><div><br></div><div>- From OSM's perspective, we need a clear statement from VicMap that they are ok with us importing their data into OSM and potentially re-licensing it.</div><div>- From VicMap's perspective: they don't think we need this statement, and they don't want to provide it, but they're ok with us importing their data into OSM.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Yeah, it's a bit silly.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Vicmap's position on IP is pretty clear. They consider all their *data* to be open licensed, and available for anyone to use for free. They consider their *services* (including rendered map tiles) to be commercially valuable.</div><div><br></div><div>Steve</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 1:17 PM, Russell Edwards <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:russell2pi@gmail.com" target="_blank">russell2pi@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I just wanted to double check before I do this as people seem to talk casually about using Vicmap Lite data but the OSM Wiki has a long process to go through with the community before doing any imports.</div><div><br></div><div>I have downloaded "Statewide Public Land Classification boundaries, polygon - 1:250,000 to 1 :2 million.
