I find the definition of "geocoding" in the proposed guideline a bit
too large: "Geocodes can be latitude/longitude pairs, full or partial
addresses and or point of interest names.".
Wikipedia is more limited: "Geocoding is the process of finding
associated geographic coordinates (often expressed as latitude and
longitude) from other geographic data, such as street addresses, or
ZIP codes (postal codes)." Or in your definition of "geocodes", only
the coordinates are coming from OSM ?
The risk of course is to create a full extract of all
addresses/coordinates /POI's in OSM without the "share-alike" just
because it's done through a geocoding process . How can we prevent
this ?
