[OSM-legal-talk] Data consumer use cases

[Jonathan Harley]

Goal-oriented wiki page, first draft:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/License/Use_Cases

Some points deliberately simplified for readability. C&C welcome.

As I was going through all the ways one might make a derivative 
database, it struck me that there's an obvious way of dodging this - to 
put whatever information you want to display into OSM first. I found the 
bulk import guidelines, but nothing really on what kinds of business 
data might be desirable/undesirable in OSM. Is there anything anywhere 
that gives examples of things we wouldn't want - like marketing slogans 
and product descriptions in place names, for example?

Jonathan.
