[OSM-legal-talk] new use case

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi Jennifer --
The OSM API does now allow or support systematically gathering data like
that, which is also stated on the API wiki,
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API#Terms_of_use. This OSM API is meant
to support map editing applications.
Even if you would gather the OSM data in some other way though, it would
probably depend: how small is 'a small portion'? What OSM data is mixed
with what other data and what is the license for that other data?
