Hi,
I just noticed this post about European urban landuse vector data:
http://blog.weogeo.com/2011/06/21/data-blog-european-urban-land-use-vectors/
It might be interesting for local communities within the EU who are
seeking to improve landuse data in OSM in their area.
This data can be downloaded here:
http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/urban-atlas
The license seems to be compatible with CC-BY-SA or the ODbL, as long as
the source is attributed:
Rights:

However, before anyone proceeds importing this in OSM, it might be
better to check with the EEA if their license is indeed compatible. And
of course it is _always_ a good idea to check with your fellow local
community members first, to see if this really adds value to OSM!
Regards,
Frank
