[OSM-legal-talk] OpenStreetMap Share Alike Produced Work issue

[Esin Ekizoglu]

Dear OpenStreetMap Community,

I am an urban researcher. I defended my PhD in 2022 in architecture and
urban planning. I was interested in public GPS data traces coming from
OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces) . It was in one of the
parts of my thesis. Now I have a possibility to publish it in the form of a
book.

I have a question about this work. Normally, from what I have read
(Openstreetmap Licence), my productions belong to the status of "produced
work". (because I analyze public GPS tracks by integrating other given data
(like bike paths plans for future for example) not only from Openstreetmap
but other open sources (with a work QGIS) The results are in the form of
images (jpeg or png exported from QGIS) and relate to part of the
publication. Is correctly referencing Openstreetmap and Contributors will
be sufficient for the questions of the copyright?
Another question: I saw that before ODbL there was CC BY-SA 2.0 until
September 2012. Can't traces downloaded before this date be part of
produced work?  On the site it is marked as if the whole database was under
the ODbL license. Does it refer to public gps data before September 2012? I
will have to delete these traces of my research work since I cannot
communicate them with the same license?

I hope I am not supposed to share my book with the OpenStreetMap licence
(share alike). It  is impossible because the work is not entirely based on
Openstreetmap...
Thank you for your help...

Best regards,
Esin
