[OSM-legal-talk] Share-Alike requirements for other data sources?

[Rob]

Hola Jaime,

Thanks so much for your email(s).

I just love the internet and how it can connect people and build relationships with people around the world.

Very easy to get lost in the labyrinth of links associated with the OSM license.

Is the link below the license I should go by or is it somewhere else?

Once again thank you for your time and your reply.

Rob

Please be aware that you are mixing the (by the way, non-official)
interpretations of the CC-BY-SA and the ODBL. We are transitioning
from one to the other right now.

You should read the actual licenses, but the spirit of the licenses,
as I understand them (IANAL), is:

* Both require attribution
* CC-BY-SA requires share-alike for the published, derivative work.
Nothing is said about other rights, such as data or database.
* ODBL requires share-alike for the database (by publishing
modifications or method to obtain them), not for derivative works. All
rights are covered.

This is an oversimplification and not legal advice, again please read
the licenses or consult a lawyer if in doubt.
