[OSM-legal-talk] Review of IndianaMap as potential datasource

[Mike Dupont]

Oh i almost forgot. Well look, they could use the otrs for marking it as
public domain. I am sure you can modify the otrs text to include a special
text for osm as well.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Email_templates

so just add in the osm text as well as the creative commons. make it multi
licensed.

you might want to send them things about open public data initiatives :
