[OSM-talk-be] ODBL, CT and licence changes

[eMerzh]

Hi everyone,

as you probably know (or not), Openstreetmap is looking to change the
licence from cc-by-sa to the new odbl licence (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License and
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/We_Are_Changing_The_License )

We need to change licence because the previous licence is unsuitable for map
data in many countries

http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Why_CC_BY-SA_is_Unsuitable


since there was not much traffic about this in the talk-be list, i've check
the acceptance rate of Belgium...

here on a map
http://osm.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/map/?zoom=9&lat=50.68506&lon=4.5875&layers=B0
or here http://odbl.info.nu/belgium.html per user...

Wow 26% of all nodes .... it's small... too small ( where France has ~60%)

i know we are only in one of the first stage to relicence but it's kind of
scary for the completeness of Belgium in OSM.

If you wan't to sign the terms please go to

http://openstreetmap.org/user/terms



Thanks to everyone for making osm such a good project
