Hi Bruno,<br>

<div>OpenStreetMaps imports CANVEC data.<br>
</div>
<div>CANVEC OpenData are provided by Natural Resources Canada.<br>
</div>

The ‘<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/43.66316/-79.41078" target="_blank">©
OpenStreetMap contributors</a>’ link on the map has the following
in the <i>Our contributors</i> section:<br>
<blockquote><strong>Canada</strong>: Contains data from
GeoBase®, GeoGratis (© Department of Natural
Resources Canada), CanVec (© Department of Natural
Resources Canada), and StatCan (Geography Division,
Statistics Canada).<br>
</blockquote>
This would be referring to the explicit permission that
NRCan/StatCan gave OSM some years ago. This is a form of
attribution.<br>
<br>
Many other national <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors" target="_blank">contributors</a>
use an OGL licence, such as in the <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/" target="_blank">UK</a>.
These contain very similar attribution terms as the OGL-CA licence.
I noticed our Canada section of the (now vast) contributors' page
was missing language that the OGL-CA licence requires, so I added
it: ‘<i>Contains information licensed under the <a href="http://open.canada.ca/en/open-government-licence-canada" target="_blank">Open
Government Licence – Canada</a>.</i>’ I may have put it in the
wrong place; discuss.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Stewart<br>
(who is totally <u>not</u> getting into the <i>Just because you
can, doesn't mean you should</i> bit of the CanVec imports
argument; nope, nosirree …) <br>
