I have a non-print marketing background and I can tell you nobody knows the anything about licenses in re-using materials (except contributors and legal counselors). I’ve been evangelising open licenses for over 2 years now and I still get the same reaction from high level marketeers to uni students: “What do you mean we can use Images on Google Images? Then why would they make them available in the first place?” And that’s just for images, let alone, data or virtual maps. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So yes contact them, but don’t start with going in offensive mode by tapping them on the fingers. Awareness and open discussions bring in more souls to the (l)(r)ight side. </div><div class="">Maybe we should consider more info on <a href="http://osm.be/nl/usage" class="">http://osm.be/nl/usage</a> about how the license applies when graphically copying or screenshotting the map, because now it’s very data focused, no? </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Don’t let this stop you from sharing such examples though. The more we know how maps are reused and misused, the better we can handle it in the future.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kind regards,</div><div class="">Pieter-Jan Pauwels</div><div class=""><div class="">
