sabas88 is proposing an import of some data in Sardinia
(http://lists.osm.org/pipermail/imports/2013-November/002370.html)
The first three paragraphs appear to be preamble, with the permissions
granted in the final paragraph. A user-supplied translation of this
paragraph is
> So, knowing that a license change of our data wouldn't be possible in a
> small amount of time compatibile to the emergency, in the meantime of
> the adjustment of our license to the directive of CAD (Digital
> Administration Code which introduced a year ago the open by default
> concept), we authorize the OpenStreetMap Foundation to use and import on
> their software all the vector data that are on the Regione Sardegna
> portal and, specifically, those at the url
> http://www.sardegnageoportale.it/catalogodati/download/.
In people's opinions, does this provide the necessary permissions for
- contributors to upload some or all of these datasets to the OSM API
- the portions or complete datasets uploaded to then be redistributed
under the ODbL
The mentions of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the document are
confusing, as to my knowledge no one from the OSMF is involved in or a
party to this agreement, but I don't think that alone would prevent the
use of data.
Thoughts?
