[talk-au] Australia Postcodes - using AusPost database

[Darren Burt]

Hi again

I've been mapping around the West Pymble area and noticed that the 
postcode was wrong. Looking around some of the streets, they were 
associated with Macquarie Park which is the other side of Lane Cove 
River! In short, there are serious and obvious errors.

So, I followed some of the links on the wiki, and found that AusPost 
provides post code data[1]. But one of the key aspects of the license is 
that it can only be provided free for non-commercial activities.

Now, my basic understanding of the 'new' OSM license is that the OSM 
database may be used for commercial activities, which would put it in 
direct conflict with the Auspost database usage requirements.

Can anyone confirm that this is the case? Or at least pass it on/up to 
some legal expertise?

Regards
Darren
