even then it took a couple of years to get their license changed. OSM
is decentralised so ask them nicely. You can point to the amount of
open data that has been imported for Ottawa but you may find their
response is we follow the province on an open data licence.<br>
<br>
For the Labour Force Survey Stats actually has the physical address of
all homes in Canada except for reservations and a few other places. Dig
on the federal government open data site and you might uncover it.<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://open.canada.ca/en/open-government-licence-canada">https://open.canada.ca/en/open-government-licence-canada</a> is the version 2
license which is acceptable, there is a municipal version which the
City of Ottawa follows. It only took five years from the time I first
mentioned it to Treasury board to the time they published the licence so
this stuff isn't done in a day. The City of Ottawa was faster, they
took another two years, in both cases there was an element of lining
things up and getting support from various people and organisations.<br>
<br>
Internally in OSM imports meet resistance. Many especially those in
Europe think you should get on your bike and collect the data properly.<br>
<br>
There is some street level imagery that is licensed for OSM and I have
used that before for mapping details such as house numbers.<br>
<br>
Have fun<br>

municipalities and the Regional District if they can provide their
street address datasets under an OSM-compatible licence? That would be
much better than doing nothing.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">-
