[OSM-legal-talk] Possible datasources: Corine Land Cover 2000 dataset

[Ciprian Talaba]

Hi all,

I know the discussion lately have been towards agreeing about an OSM 
license, and probably this is not the best time to ask this question.
But I came across Corine Land Cover 2000 datasets and I want to make 
sure that they can be use in OSM. The organization behind CLC 2000 is 
European Environment Agency (EEA) and the website where the dataset is 
available have some legal information like:
1. on the page http://www.eea.europa.eu/legal/copyright
"/Unless otherwise indicated, the information available from this site 
is within the public domain. Public domain information on the EEA web 
pages may be downloaded free of charge, and reproduced provided the 
source is acknowledged^* .
.............................
//^* Citing this website"/

2. on the page http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/landuse/clc-download from 
where you can download the datasets, in the tab "My details" where is 
the following notice:
"/The information available in this application is under copyright of 
EEA and within the public domain. Public domain information in this 
application may
be used free of charge, provided the source is acknowledged. The 
acknowledgment should read (c) EEA, Copenhagen, 2007/"

So my opinion is that we can use data from CLC 2000 as long as we add 
the source as a tag to each imported element. So you see any problems in 
using this dataset?

Thanks,
Ciprian
