[OSM-legal-talk] Vector Tiles: ODbL and non-free data

[Tobias Wendorff]

Hi there.

Mapbox allows it to upload own data under a properitary license and
deliver vector tiles and raster tiles.

Let's say, I want to overlay OpenStreetMap data with my own, non-free
data. Just overlay, no other interaction.

Does ODbL allow it, it combine both datasets in one vector data stream
or do I need to request the tiles in seperate layers. Actually, these
vector formats are modified SQLite databases, which might allow it to
seperate OSM from foreign data, the problem is the rendering.

The data gets rendered in the client's browser. OSM data gets mixed
with the foreign data and rendered to one temporary image (which only
gets cached). Do I need to render each vector layer on its own or is
OdbL open that much to allow my intent?

Best regards,
Tobias
