Hello,
I contributed some nodes for all "historic=wayside_shrine" and
"historic=wayside_cross" in our region. I use this on our association
website to display "pins" on all those points. If the user clicks on
such a pin, then a popup opens, showing a photo, where we have the
copyright.
I have the following below the map:
Photos (c) $OURASSOCIATION
Data CC-By-SA by OpenStreetMap
The pin/popup data for openlayers is created as CVS in the following way:
- A cron job calls a script, which gets the nodes, I want, via XAPI from
openstreetmap. Then the script checks our own database, which has a
field with node-ids to connect the photos to the map nodes. The result
is saved to a CVS file, which is read from openlayers. The image URLs
are not part of the openstreetmap database. I could contribute the URLs,
but I want to read them from our own database, as I don't want foreign
photos on our website.
As I connect our URLs with the node data from Openstreetmap, the "URLs"
(as text) should be CC-By-SA, but our photos are still our photos where
we keep our copyright, right?
Yours
Manuel
