OpenStreetMap. HOT adds data to OpenStreetMap and has to follow
OpenStreetMaps rules when adding data as we all do.<br>
<br>
If you are mapping from local knowledge ie I can see this that is fine
by OpenStreetMap rules. The Import rules are for imports and are there
for a purpose which is to protect OpenStreetMap from having data added
to it that cannot be licensed by OpenStreetMap to its end users using
the .ODBL license.<br>
<br>
Getting the correct license does take time sometimes, it took me some
five years to get the local municipal open data license aligned with
OpenStreetMap. It is today and we are able import the local bus stops.
Doesn't sound like much but we have all the phone numbers to dial to
see when the next bus is coming.<br>
<br>
The quality of some imports made in the past has been less than ideal.
Certainly there are places on the map that have tags saying fixme this
village name maybe 2 kilometers out. I came across one village
yesterday with three different names which appeared to be from three
different imports.<br>
<br>
Today imports are challenged routinely. Locally I handled the last one
because the person who did it before really didn't want to go through
the aggressive challenges to the license and data quality that came from
the import mailing list. <br>
<br>
Remember OpenStreetMap has many members, only some of whom believe that
imports are good. Some others think if it hasn't been surveyed with a
mapper on the ground then it shouldn't be in the map.<br>

You didn't promote local mapping, you promoted an import that has<br>
meanwhile turned out to be a massive copyright violation because you<br>
decided to act first and ask questions later - which is exactly the kind<br>
of "help" that I am advocating against. I don't doubt your good<br>
intentions, but I am certain that every single person in the<br>
humanitarian sector knows that good intentions alone aren't sufficient.<br>
