[OSM-legal-talk] New data source

Hello,

I recently saw that some bus stop names are out of date in my area. I
updated the one I saw (
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/533814248/history)

But the local bus operator offers this data under Open Government
License Version 3.0. (https://www.islandbuses.info/open-data)

As far as I understand it OGL can be used in OSM, but needs
attribution. Is this correct? How can OSM add the attribution so I can
start using this dataset?

Once someone verifies that I can use this dataset I intend to correct
any OSM names, add fixme tags to any this I don't think exist any more.
And possibly add naptan:AtcoCode=x to nodes that don't have it in OSM
but do in the Southern Vectis dataset. And add "SouthernVectis" to the
source tag which would usually mean, source=naptan_import ->
source=naptan_import;SouthernVectis.

Thanks
Cj
