[OSM-legal-talk] License Use Case

Hi,

Suppose that a web site can find and show touristic pictures which have been taken in a selected area:
- Users can upload pictures to the web server, indicating the address where each picture has been taken,
- Users can ask the web site to find and show the pictures which have been taken in the neighborhood of a provided address.

The web server internally uses OpenStreetMap data to find the pictures which have been taken in the neighborhood of a provided address.
Notice that the web site never displays any map but displays the found pictures and the address where each picture has been taken.

Do the pictures distributed through the web site have to be licensed under the CC-BY-SA license ?
Later, will the pictures distributed through the web site have to be licensed under the ODbL license ?

Thank you very much for your help.

Xavier
