I'm unclear about some issues concerning copyright. I'd like to put up
a couple of scenarios and get opinions.
Let's say that many roads in a town are mapped but unnamed in OSM. And
street signs are missing.
I go to the local tourist information place and start asking for names.
They give me a photocopy of a street directory which shows all the
names. But this photocopy has a copyright notice.
Can I enter names from that page into OSM for the already-mapped ways?
Second scenario. I have the guidebook for a route. This guidebook is
essential for following the route because of a lack of signage on the
route itself. The guidebook gives turn-by-turn instructions. The
roads/paths are already mapped on OSM. Can I gather them together into
an OSM route relation using the information from the guidebook?
