[OSM-legal-talk] Paid services from OSM

[Peter Miller]

I notice that the conversation has moved on from issues around Derivative
Databases to factual/copyright data. Can I confirm that we have agreement on
the previous point re Derivative DBs?
 
Can I suggest:

1) We clarify that a Derived Database is only deems to exist when the
martial changes have occurred to the content of the DB, but not if the
dataset has merely been processed into a different format.

2) We clarify that when any derived Database should be made available in a
'reasonable' time period. This deals with the minutely update concern.

3) That any Derivative Database can either be provided together with the
end-user experience or can be published in a publically accessible forum
where an interested user may be reasonably expected to find it. [Not sure is
this is good enough - do we really always want full publication of the DB?]

3) That any Derived DB should be made generally available in a form designed
to allow it to be conveniently processed by a computer. [The wording isn't
very good - but I think you see what I am getting at]


Regards,




Peter
