[OSM-newbies] Help with substation data

[Michael Heißmeier]

Hello again,

I found a few helpful pages in our wiki on that subject:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ briefly discusses importing of data 
from other sources under section 2

There is a fairly extensive record of datasources which have been investigated 
so far: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potential_Datasources mostly with a 
short discussion why it is considered acceptable or not Having a look at it 
might give you an impression about potential pitfalls.

If your data constitutes a substantial amount of objects then this would be 
considered a bulk import which can only be performed after discussion. See more 
details about this under http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import


I do not want to scare you from contributing but just make the point clear that 
integrity of our data, both in terms of reliability and legal status, is of 
prime concern in this project.

Regards

Michael
