It's normal they keep their IP rights.<br><br>It means that they still have to right to give the data to selected people under another license (like a license that doesn't require source mentioning). All people do this, also open-source software writers.<br>
<br>Apart from that, I agree they are talking to us, and want us to use the data. So even if it's not completely legan (in other words, a lawyer might find a hole), we can use it. And if there are complaints, we can still figure out what to do.<br>

<br>
They're talking to us here, I believe. They've obviously foreseen that<br>
groups like OSM and companies like, say, Foursquare, will want to use<br>
this data.<br>
<br>
I have only one issue. The license says they retain all their IP<br>
rights, so is this compatible with the contributor terms of OSM? Or,<br>
are we maybe creating a derivative work when we map based on their<br>
data?<br>
