[OSM-legal-talk] Possible license violation at geocommons.com

[Kari Pihkala]

I was browsing through geocommons.com and noticed that they have a lot of
data extracted from OSM (hundreds of thousands of points). They are
relicensing the data with Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. OSM data
is originally licensed with Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0.
So, it looks like they are violating OSM license.

Have a look at
http://finder.geocommons.com/searches?query=tag%3Aopenstreetmap and the
license text at the bottom of the page, behind the 'Details' button.

Should I ask them to remove the data?
