[talk-au] Importing Vicmap Lite data

[Andrew Davidson]

It has been pointed out to me (see OpenStreetMap | Changeset: 33674611) that we don't have explicit permission to use any of the Vic Data products. I've tried contacting them without any success. It would appear that others have managed to get them to respond (see this thread [OSM-legal-talk] Any expert CC-BY -> ODbL negotiators?) but not in a helpful way.

 Hi,
I just wanted to double check before I do this as people seem to talk casually about using Vicmap Lite data but the OSM Wiki has a long process to go through with the community before doing any imports.
I have downloaded "Statewide Public Land Classification boundaries, polygon - 1:250,000 to 1 :2 million. Vicmap Lite". It is CC BY-4.0-International.
I want to add boundaries of some local state forests I frequent, using this data. My questions are
* Can I just go ahead and do it?* I haven't done boundaries before, do I need a shared node where roads and waterways cross the boundary?* What if there is an existing overlapping area natural=wood that follows the aerial tree extent (which doesn't exactly match the boundary)? Leave them both there? Do I need natural=wood on the state forest boundary area to, to make it display green? What about the conflict there?* Anything else to watch for?
I might have a look at Vicmap Hydro to get the creeks as well.
Thanks in advance
Russell
