[OSM-legal-talk] Peel Region Open Data License Question

[Kevo]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to see if I could get an opinion on whether data from a government
source could be added to OSM. This data is at http://opendata.peelregion.ca
and is released under the UK Government's Open Government License for Public
Sector Information with some modifications
(http://opendata.peelregion.ca/terms-of-use.aspx).

I've reviewed the Potential Datasources wiki page as well as the OSM
copyright page. Reading the Licenses bullet on the former page would make me
think that this data cannot be used since it's not public domain, but the
Natural England data uses the unmodified OGL license and can be used in OSM,
which is what has brought me here for clarification.

Note: I do work for Peel (and have created a bunch of the data), but I am
posting this as a member of the OSM community outside of work, so I am not
representing the Region.

Regards,
Kevin F. (Kevo)
