I was using this as an example. The need for direct attribution is
stated explicitly in the licensing texts coming with the data, and
is also central to the CC-BY license (that's the BY in it) - I don't
really believe that the method you propose - to simpy put them on
the contributors page - is sufficient. OSM has to be very careful
about these things! We can't afford to have legal trouble with
government bodies. Are you certain about this issue?<br>
<br>
Any lawyers out there who can help?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Due to the fact we have a online database and not a printed map, my <b>opinion</b> is that we have to communicate the statement with the same modality of the data: online. So the "contributors" page is enough, like in the rest of the world.</div>
<div> </div></div><div><br></div><div>In any case, I'm not a lawyer too, but I think we don't need a lawyer to solve this problem: I'm simply mailing to the geoportale's people to ask them if this is OK (like for all others contributors) or not.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'll forward to the list the reply (if there's one, of course :-D )</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>(PS: a tutti è chiaro l'Inglese o è meglio metterci anche una traduzione? ^^; )</div>
