Hi David,<div><br></div><div>Our question was related to OSM in general, not speaking about a specific license. Their current license makes things much easier (at that time - November 2009 - things were not that clear); "<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; ">EEA standard re-use policy: unless otherwise indicated, re-use of content on the EEA website for commercial or non-commercial purposes is permitted free of charge, provided that the source is acknowledged" [1]</span></div>

Hi Ciprian,<br>
<br>
Was this positive response you received, in response to licensing their<br>
data under the previous OSM licence or the proposed new one? This is<br>
something to be mindful of if requesting permission from EEA, and<br>
continuing to use the data long-term.<br>
<br>
The issues with them changing their licence several times after granting<br>
permission to use, is not dissimilar to ongoing discussions here. It is<br>
important to understand the terms of use of the data that you're using<br>
and recognising they may be different from a statement given some time<br>
in the past on the wiki.<br>

Is our wiki out-of-date? CLC data can now be used in OSM (not only in France and other specific areas)? --Oscar<br>
