[OSM-legal-talk] Is it OK to copy info from booking.com?

[Mateusz Konieczny]

Name is from note.

Confirmation of existence and location would be from booking.com,
as note failed to make it clear (mentions different address than its location).

Chalet classification would be based on booking info (what kind of
accommodation can be rented).
