Hello,<br><br>I don't necessarily understand the entire discussion since I can't understand that well Japanese, so I will be replying in English. There might be a way to use the trademark Openstreetmap for an association without becoming a local chapter. The Spanish people have an association with the name openstreetmap already and the foundation never said anything.<br>
In addition, the rule about local chapters are changing. Henk Hoff is currently talking with many people about it. In France, we will probably use the trademark in agreement with the fondation, but we will likely not become a local chapter immediately. We want to see how it is going to evolve. We don't want to pay too as the price is too high (higher than what we would require people to pay in the first place). We are currently looking at an association in France too.<br>
Last time, I talked with Simone Cortesi, a board member, he was happy to let people use the copyright for an association. I think it might be worth talking to the foundation before conclusion.<br>I think it is safe to say that many people won't have any problem letting use that name if necessary.<br>
I am more than happy to offer my help if it can be of use.<br><br>Emilie Laffray<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/3/11 Shun N. Watanabe <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shunw@ics.uci.edu">shunw@ics.uci.edu</a>></span><br>
