[talk-au] GNAF (address) data to be released under open license

[Jason Ward]

Hi Simon,

Could you note the clause for clarity please? My guess would be 3a4 of [1]
as I'm not across the meaning of that when applied to the downstream osm
licence.  I've read the links below and on a first pass it appears to be
quite a broad licence to use (Specifically 2a 1B & 2a 1B) of [1] so am
curious to know where the barrier lies.

Thanks!
