[Imports] Fwd: FW: RTD's GIS Data in OpenStreetMap

[Richard Welty]

the problem frequently comes with redistribution terms. it's one of the 
reasons
why i have no plans to bring in any of the transit data here in the 
Capital District
of NY; the CDTA terms are really shaky when you get to the 
redistribution part.

you need a clear statement that they are willing to relicense their data 
in terms
compatible with the ODbL
