you contribute it under the new contribution terms you accept that
OSM can change the license at a later date. Practically speaking
it makes it impossible to respect any other license so currently
only PD data and things you have explicitly mapped yourself are
safe.<br>

In the OSM talk thread there are people who seem to think that all
imports are bad and I suspect the license change clause was put in
by them to discourage imports.<br>

No, it was put in because we didn't want to have a rerun of all this
mess if something better came along next time.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
What is the status on the BC Open Data site launched earlier
this year?<br>
<br>
License: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.data.gov.bc.ca/dbc/admin/terms.page"
target="_blank">http://www.data.gov.bc.ca/dbc/admin/terms.page</a>?<br>
<br>
It looks fine to me, but i know licensing is a big problem
with osm.<br>
<br>
In particular, i am looking at doing a manual import of
protected areas amd hiking trails (I imported a bunch of NrCan
protected areas a while back)<br>
<br>
Finally, another license question. Since Sam V. (across canada
trails) released his contribs as PD, cant i just re-import
them into OSM on my account under odbl?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
