So, given your ideal license: I decide to make a pub crawl and making a
mashup showing the pubs I visited and my rating of them.To make sure that I
placed the pubs at the right place I had a GPS in my pocket, and had gpx
trace of the entire evening. Would I then be requires to publish my much
more detailed GIS data (gpx with timestamps), so you could see at what time
I visited the pubs and allowing you, as a consumer, to also verify at which
times the pubs were open and using this data to better plan your own pub
crawl?

Gustav
