Hi Lars-Daniel,
Even assuming the polygons are from a Derivative Database, I don't see a
reason for the data to be released under
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines/Trivial_Transformations_-_Guideline
Why would the polygons, which appear to be simply algorithmically combined
OSM data, be of interest?
Best,
Kathleen
