[OSM-dev] What's the attitude on embedding tiles at home or informationfreeway slippy maps on own site?

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello everyone,

I have to admit I haven't done much work on Freemap lately - other 
commitments being a big factor but an equally important factor  being that 
my server cannot cope well with an OSM database covering most of England.

So I was considering an alternative approach, in which Freemap no longer 
focuses on providing custom OSM maps for walkers, but rather uses the 
"standard" OSM maps (probably tiles at home/osmarender, as they distinguish 
between tracks with private and public access which is vital for walkers) 
and focuses instead on providing a separate and more lightweight data 
layer which allows walkers to report problems with paths, contribute 
directions in difficult places, photos, etc.

However this would obviously mean Freemap embedding tiles at home or 
informationfreeway.org maps in its own site. How acceptable would this be 
seen to be?

Thanks,
Nick
