[OSM-legal-talk] New contributing agency

[Fernando Trebien]

Hello everyone,

I've recently contacted an institute (LABGEO) within a public university
here in Brazil (UFRGS) and they've shown interest in contributing to OSM
their data, which includes roads, land contours, vegetation data, maybe
even geological data (it is a pretty extensive database). They would also
like to be listed as a contributor here in this page:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

Though there may be a few details left to check yet, they've stated so far
that the dada is already regularly used for commercial purposes by many
Brazilian companies at zero cost. So here's my question: what kind of
statement do they have to provide so that they get listed in that page?
What questions does the statement need to answer?
