[OSM-legal-talk] Council Permission Request Accepted - Followup Questions?

[Grant Slater]

Legal,

On behalf of OpenStreetMap I asked a large city council (Durban, South 
Africa) for permission use their online mapping website to find the 
official names for roads and features we are missing. I also asked for 
permission (expecting to be denied) to use the shapefiles on their 
public FTP site.
http://citymaps.durban.gov.za/

Their reply from the head of their corporate GIS department:
"You may use any of our data for your project. Note that the online map 
is very up-to-date (seldom more than 1 to 2 weeks old), whereas the FTP 
site is only updated infrequently."

AFAIK, they own all their own GIS data, unlike councils in the UK.

Advice...

Should I; thank them and go ahead and plan a full import of their data? 
(yay)

Or

Should I follow-up with a few question before proceeding? Licence, 
attribution, do-you-really-mean-what-you-just-said... etc etc. What 
questions?
