[Osmf-talk] Release - OpenLitterMap.com Paper now Published Online [ OPEN ACCESS ]

[Seán Lynch]

I reached out to the trademark at osmfoundation.org email to get their opinion
and find clarification

I would prefer to have OSM on my side than not and I believe we share the
same principles and it would be great to work more closely together.
OpenLitterMap has been heavily inspired by the good work at OSM. If I need
a license then I can go down that road but personally I don’t think I do.

Also if anyone has any comments about my actual paper or the platform in
general then that would be great too!

Cheers
Seán
