[OSM-legal-talk] Political Change

[Jeffrey Martin]

I agree with the judgment. You can't make a derivative work
without permission.

OSM and other open source projects give people permission
to create derivative works provided they follow the license
rules. If they could make derivative works without permission
then there would be no way to require compliance with the
license.
