[OSM-legal-talk] Collective database

[Kirill Bestoujev]

Frederik, thanks for the reply.

Do we have somewhere a more detailed description of collective database 
relating to OSM situation? May be some lawyers opinion or something 
else? Previously we were looking at the situation in a different way and 
suddenly understood that our positions is not very clear, so we would 
like to clarify the situation as deep as possible.
