Hi there,
I would like to have clarification on this subject as well (but be aware
that I'm just in the process of understanding the OSM license -> see the
other thread).
What I do not understand with the OSM license is the following
(constructed) example:
* I have a separate geo coder application based on OSM data
* I have my own user database which is public to every individual
Now what happens when I use the geocoder to let users do autocompleting
its addresses in my "somehow public" database? I have lots of users so
this "manual" copying from OSM would be *substantial* but at the same
time it is clear that I cannot make the database itself public. Or is
the resulting database still separate as there are clean "OSM columns"?
Regards,
Peter.
