[OSM-legal-talk] Data Portal License CC0 1.0 and OpenStreetMap

[Mateusz Konieczny]

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/ODbL_Compatibility

"License terms are compatible, but the licenser does not guarantee for it. 
4c of the license explicitly states: "Affirmer disclaims responsibility for 
clearing rights of other persons that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, 
including without limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. 
Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, 
permissions or other rights required for any use of the Work.""

For example Wikidata is CC0 but mostly copyright incompatible with OSM
and unusable for imports in general.

> In order to promote collaboration, exchange and sharing, as well as the use of open data by all, the Government of Quebec and several municipalities have adopted a common licence, Creative Commons 4.0 (CC), which comes in six variants.
>
> This licence is recognized as one of the least restrictive in terms of the rights to use open data, while protecting copyright.
>
> The universal Creative Commons 1.0 licence (CC0 1.0) can also be used, in particular to encourage the integration of data into a larger set of open and linked data, in which the origin of each piece of data can sometimes be more complex to recognise.
