Hello,

I contacted the Syracuse–Onondaga County Planning Agency to ask for a 
license waiver to import their building footprint data for the county. 
Below is the waiver:

'''
The Syracuse-Onondaga County Planning Agency has no objections to 
geodata derived in part from the "Onondaga County Building Footprints" 
layer being incorporated into the OpenStreetMap project geodata database 
and displayed publicly on the map.  By using the data, however, the 
OpenStreetMap project agrees that Onondaga County makes no claim as to 
the usefulness, accuracy or completeness of the county's building 
footprint file, and the county will not be held responsible for any 
omissions or inaccuracies. This data is provided as is and there is no 
guarantee that it is suitable for any particular purpose.  Your use of 
the data is at your own risk.
'''

This is from Don M. Jordan, Jr., Deputy Director and Assistant Director 
for GIS Services at the Syracuse–Onondaga County Planning Agency. Is 
this waiver acceptable if I intend to move forward with the import 
process?

Thank you
