</div></div>That specific data set coms with a license:<br>

IANAL, but from what I undrstand, the licnse dos not grant you th right<br>
to change the information, which may man that drivative work is not<br>
allowed. If that is the case, it is surely incompatible with OSM's<br>
license. It also has a clause which is somewhat close to requiring that<br>
you do no evil.<br>
<br>
Maybe they'll relicense it if asked nicely.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://data.gov.il" target="_blank">data.gov.il</a> has some othere interesting datasets:<br>
<a href="http://data.gov.il/dataset/434" target="_blank">http://data.gov.il/dataset/434</a> - th public transport data.<br>
I'm not exactly sure what its license is.<br>
