Hello all,

If you go to:
        http://www.openstreetmap.org/**copyright<http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright>

you might notice a slight difference. :)

OSM data downloaded after 9am today is now licensed under the Open Database
Licence. The first ODbL-licensed planet.osm file is currently being
generated.

These pages summarise the main changes:
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/**Legal_FAQ <http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ>
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/ODbL/**License_Transition/Guidance_**
To_Data_Consumers<http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/ODbL/License_Transition/Guidance_To_Data_Consumers>

The main supporting documents on the wiki have been updated but
translations and some of the more obscure documents will need attention.

Our recommended attribution is now "© OpenStreetMap contributors" plus a
link to www.openstreetmap.org/**copyright<http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright>.
That page then gives further details of the ODbL and other relevant
information.

cheers
Richard
